Do you have any idea why they broke tradition and did not get it published

I do not know, but I am glad they did. Perhaps I influenced their
decision, because I recommended they stop using World Scientific. I do not
like it for several reasons, which I can enumerate here in detail if
anyone is interested. Briefly:
World Scientific gets the copyright. I oppose copyrights but if there is
going to be one, the ICCF conference and authors should retain it.
The book is far too expensive.
Their books are printed in a light 10-point Times Roman which I find
unreadable.
That last reason may seem trivial, but I do not think it is. The book
costs $180 and it has hundreds of pages, yet reading 10 or 20 pages causes
eyestrain and a headache. The layout and font size mean that your $180
investment is wasted.

I think you said you did the editing and production on the latest
proceedings...so then the new format will be closer to 81/2 x 11 and
12-point font?
