Anyone know when Cecil will release the next straightdope book? I seem to remember the preface in the last book saying he would release a new book every two years. That was in 1999. Any word? ---

That would be Straight Dope. I think I am a little too used to typing [www.straightdope.com](http://www.straightdope.com) ---

I think someone asked this in ATMB not too long ago. Apparently there is such a backstock of the other books that the publishers don’t want to release anymore. So if everyone you know has not yet already received one of more SD books as gifts, now is the time! ---

Since this is about Cecil’s columns, in a roundabout way, I’ll move this thread to Comments on Cecil’s Columns. ---

In the meantime, we can speculate what Cecil’s sixth opus will be named. I’ve been promoting _The Straight Dope Goes to Hawaii_. ---
