heidiWell, it may've taken two years to collect all the papers, edit them, have the thing published and manage to have it available on Amazon.com, but finally, you can order the book version of Nimbus - 2003. It includes nearly four dozen papers, presentations and panel summaries from Nimbus - 2003, and even though most of the works were completed a little over a year ago (we gave the authors time to edit after the conference) the themes, concepts, and analysis are interesting, entertaining and even useful if you're trying to puzzle out what may happen in Book Seven or solve the mysteries in the first six books. You can
Since it debuted many years ago, the Harry Potter franchise has stormed the entire globe and captured the attention of millions of different people everywhere. From books to toys to video games and to Hollywood, there is no doubt that Harry Potter is indeed a cultural phenomenon which has generated billions of dollars in sales as well as tons of information channeled through all forms of media and crossing all language barriers. Behind all the fanatics and scholars influenced by JK Rowlings’ massively-popular franchise, is there anything left unknown that has to be discovered? To find out all the answers, as well as tons of details, readers must join the Nimbus-2003 Programming Team on a massive journey into the Potter-universe by reading their new book titled Selected Papers From Nimbus-2003 Compendium: We Solemnly Swear These Papers Were Worth The Wait.

Now, here comes the request. If you want to get it, get it now. I saw the amazingness ofcleolinda's announcement of her Movies in 15 Minutes book via Amazon.co.uk two weeks ago, and how it skyrocketed to number one on Amazon's charts - and while I don't think we can do that well on Amazon.com, it would be amazing if we sold enough copies this weekend to find ourselves in the top 500, or even the top 100. It would be great publicity for TWH and for Lumos, and for the fandom as a whole, becuase this is an amazing work generated by adult fans, which is a first for the HP fandom.
So please, buy our book! It really is interesting, and pretty, and a good resource and a good snapshot of academia and fan-stuff, and I think it deserves a place on everyone's bookshelf.
One more thing! If you were at Nimbus, and requested an Amazon gift certificate instead of a CD-ROM, next week, when Gwen gets back from Pennsic, we'll be sending you a gift certificate that you can use via Borders' Amazon.com store on any purchase via that store - you can use it towards the book, but if you want to purchase the book now and help our ranking, and use the actual gift certificate in your friendly neighborhood Borders bricks & mortar store later, you can do that, too. It's your call.
