Dear NabokvLers,

We are very pleased to announce that our new book, Fine Lines: Vladimir Nabokov's Scientific Art, is available for purchase at all the usual venues (at least, in North America and soon probably in Britain and other English-speaking countries).  The book contains 148 of Nabokov's scientific drawings with detailed explanatory captions by (mostly) Kurt, and six reproductions of VN's inscription drawings to Véra, along with essays by several scientists and Nabokov specialists who have written about or built upon Nabokov's lepidoptery.  The drawings are nearly all reproduced at their full size (4x6 inches), and all are at very high resolution.  62 of the plates are in color. Table of Contents attached. Teaser: Robert Dirig determines the real imaginary location of New Wye in Pale Fire.

Fine Lines is dedicated to Dieter E. Zimmer.

We hope you enjoy it as much as we have enjoyed putting it together. Many thanks, once again, to all the contributors, and the editors and assistants at the press.

Best regards to all,

Stephen Blackwell & Kurt Johnson
