Who are we aiming this book at? How will we reach them?

"Laymen," mostly, I would think. This isn't yet another "New Age" tract, either. It should be a book that, as someone on the list remarked, a scientist wouldn't be embarrassed to have found sitting on his or her coffee table.

We need to seek out creative ways to destigmatize the subject material.

I think you need to make sure the book is of the type that will be stocked by regular bookshops such as Angus & Robertson etc.

I so frequently have to order books from big cities, that have 'New Age', 'Alternative' or such other type of bookshops. I CAN order them from my regular local bookshop, but they usually want about $10 extra, because it is not from a regular supplier etc. And then it often takes months.

Even the word 'Anomalous' in the title could commit it to those other types of book shops.

"As Fred Bergsten said: 'I don't really care who does our studies as long as I do the press releases, because the press release is crucial.' Remember that, by writing the press release, you often are writing the journalist's story for him." -- Nancy Truett, A Checklist for Public Policy Institutes, 1990.
