Amazon is overenthusiastic; the book isn't actually available yet ... but it
will be soon, and at that point I will announce it on this list!

 Ciao Ben,

 Is the AGI book published yet?

 I see that Amazon says that it can be ordered, but I haven't seen
 you mention the book here on the AGI list?

 Cheers
 Shane

RE: [agi] AGI book?

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/354023733X/ to buy the AGI book.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0595654371/ to buy an AI4U book.

Ben, I hope that the Netizen reviewers are intellectually honest and 
humanly kind towards you -- as they have NOT been with my AI4U book.
I want to post an Amazon rebuttal review with the following points.
- Author's disclaimer:  I wrote AI4U: Mind-1.1 Programmer's Manual.
- The seemingly negative back-of-book blurb was written by the author. 
- The AI4U book is available to read free of charge on the Web. 
- An after-the-fact Index is also available for capture or print-out. 
- AI4U may appreciate in value over the years if Mentifex AI succeeds. 
- Therefore people should declare in their will who gets their AI4U. 
- AI4U makes a good birthday or graduation gift or library donation.
- Self-publishing a book makes sense for an independent AI scholar.
- The chapter diagrams alone are worth trillions of galactic dollars. 
- The AI4U diagrams are completely original -- they are from no other source. 
- Ask people to leave copies lying around in accordance with BookCrossing. 
- Texas A  M and Hong Kong U are great schools with AI4U in the library.
- Make the AI4U review also a rebuttal of other Mentifex-bashing phenomena. 
- Mentifex AI project may have made a great hoax, but is profoundly serious.
