Here's a web page that tells you a little more about the book. And, if you absolutely have to have your own copy, you can buy it at Amazon or Barnes and Noble.

I dunno, I think most people are gonna need more than one second to learn formal languages and automata theory.
(sorry, dumb joke --- but congratulations on the new book!)
Congratulations on your book Jeff.
I did recognize Craig Kaplan's work on the cover.
Are there some sample chapters/pages? Looks like fun stuff -- everyone and their mother has lecture notes for a first class in automata theory, but you don't often see a lot of the advanced stuff.
Mike:
I'll have to check with Cambridge to see what kinds of sample pages I can put up.
Congratulations! I can't wait to be confused by more of your course material.
Congrats! The "one second" comment reminds me of when I graduated (from Waterloo, natch) as part of the "sixty second convocation" (as printed on the programs).
Oh, how I wish. That was one loooong afternoon.
Congratulations, Jeff!
That's awesome! Congratulations!!!

I think I'll wait for the movie. :)
Seriously, congrats.
Congrats. I didn't recall imcompressibility and looked in Lewis and Pap. to no avail, but did find it in Li and Vitanyi... And there is even a reference to "automaticity" almost at the bottom of the stack :-)
Mike:
The only sample pages so far are here:

Click on "table of contents", "excerpt", "index", and "frontmatter" to see some examples.
Awesome! Congrats!
How's that related to the picture of the afghan quilt on the cover?
Dear unsympathetic:
It is not an "Afghan quilt".
Cover graphics are from Craig? Sweet!!!
Congratz on the book!
Totally unrelated, a paper on evolution research I liked that you might apprecitate: http://scienceblogs.com/loom/2008/06/02/a_new_step_in_evolution.php
