The Big Book of Secret Hiding Places provided link lists the Big Book in paperback on Amazon at $302.98? At that cost I will need to hide it somewhere as it would be the most valuable book I own.
The Literature Map is less interesting than it might at first seem. The relation being portrayed is symmetric: Authors A and B have readers in common. The order of A and B does not matter. Now try this: Click on author B that is near the central one, author A. The new map is centered on B, but A is typically far away. Even worse: The map centered on A shows a cluster of authors, B, C, and D. Click on any of them, and you will find the others far away, or even off the screen. A map has some interesting geometric properties, but this isn't it!
