Clarification: Voltaire Press (VP) is not affiliated with Duke University Press

Voltaire Press (VP) is not affiliated with Duke University Press in any way. VP was formed as an imprint. We consciously avoided working with any university presses because we did not want to risk a repeat of the debacle at Yale University Press. In addition, we wanted the book to appear this decade.

Neither Duke University nor any of its faculty (other than me) or administrators were involved in the publication of this book. We used all independent contractors, again to avoid another kerfuffle and to bring the book to market quickly. I want to avoid any implication that Duke University endorses this book.
