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'.
