Today's postal mail brought me a shocker in a Dover catalogue:
Dover has discovered -- and is reprinting -- topos theory books!
On page 4 of that catalogue, Peter Johnstone's 1977 Topos Theory
(Dover's ISBN-10: 0-486-49336-9), and on page 30, Bell's Toposes
and Local Set Theories (Dover's ISBN-10: 0-486-46286-2).
I suppose congratulations are in order to the authors :-) !
What's more, page 6 offers both volumes of the second edition of
Nathan Jacobson's Basic Algebra (1985 and 1989 editions, ISBN-10:
0-486-47189-6 and 0-486-47187-X, respectively).
Cheers, -- Fred

Well, maybe. I resisted this for quite a while, because I don't
really want people to buy `Topos Theory' (I'd much rather they
bought copies of the Elephant), but in the end I had to concede
that Dover knew their business better than I did, and if they said
there was a market for it they were probably right.
Incidentally, the reaction of one Cambridge colleague on learning
that I'd appeared as a Dover reprint was `I didn't know you were dead'.
