Dover Publications and Toposes
Today's postal mail brought me a shocker in a Dover catalogue: Dover has discovered -- and is reprinting -- topos theory books! On page 4 of that catalogue, Peter Johnstone's 1977 Topos Theory (Dover's ISBN-10: 0-486-49336-9), and on page 30, Bell's Toposes and Local Set Theories (Dover's ISBN-10: 0-486-46286-2). I suppose congratulations are in order to the authors :-) ! What's more, page 6 offers both volumes of the second edition of Nathan Jacobson's Basic Algebra (1985 and 1989 editions, ISBN-10: 0-486-47189-6 and 0-486-47187-X, respectively).

Well, maybe. I resisted this for quite a while, because I don't really want people to buy `Topos Theory' (I'd much rather they bought copies of the Elephant), but in the end I had to concede that Dover knew their business better than I did, and if they said there was a market for it they were probably right. Incidentally, the reaction of one Cambridge colleague on learning that I'd appeared as a Dover reprint was `I didn't know you were dead'.
