From the Shameless Self-Promotion Department comes news that A Different Democracy: American Government in a Thirty-One-Country Comparison by Steven L. Taylor, Matthew S. Shugart, Arend Lijphart, and Bernard Grofman is now available in paperback and Kindle formats (at, I might note, reasonable prices).
It was originally slated for an October 28th release, but I received my author’s copies a little over a week ago and I saw that Amazon had the paperbacks this week and the Kindle version just went up.

Thanks for the notice. I just purchased the Kindle version and look forward to reading it.
@Ron Beasley: Cool–thanks! I will be interested to hear what you think of it.
@Steven L. Taylor: I will probably do a review over at The Moderate Voice if that’s OK.
@Ron Beasley: of course.
Good deal!
The combo of Yale University Press and Arend Lijphart as the third-named author is pretty sweet.
@James Joyner: Thanks! It is all quite cool (to put it mildly). It was a great project to work on and I am really pleased with the result.
It was fantastic to work with my co-authors and finding a home for the book at YUP was sweet indeed!
How do we get our hands on autographed copies?
Will an iBook version be coming out? If so, I’ll wait for that. If not, I’ll get the kindle version. I don’t really prefer one format over the other, but every time Kindle updates their app, they erase all of the books I’ve downloaded and I have to redownload.
@Ben Wolf: If you are serious, that can be arranged 😉
@MarkedMan: I do not know for sure, to be honest. I looked out of curiosity, and it isn’t there. However, I did notice that Lijphart’s recent book (the 2nd edition of Patterns of Democracy also from Yale University Press is available at the iBookstore. So, hopefully, ADD will end up there as well.
@Steven Taylor,
Totally serious. Your work is a reason I still frequent this blog as well as your own and I’d love to have a signed copy.
Just bought the Kindle version. Will read.
Just purchased, looking forward to reading.
