contributor I quite agree, and it’s much less accessible than
any of us had hoped for when we set out with a different
publisher. I believe it reflects the difficulties of getting
edited collections off the ground today (and thanks to the
editors for their careful work). I’d be happy to share
author-draft copies of my chapter if it happens to be of
interest to anyone on the list.</div>

Hello, all-- <br>
<br>
<i>Repair Work Ethnographies</i> looks like it could be a
wonderful work, but Palgrave has it on the market for
$96.00 (Kindle for $94.00). Such a prohibitive cost means
that it won't make course lists or even personal
bookshelves any time soon, and it will even be a tough
sell for libraries. I've never understood the logic of
such a pricing strategy. <br>

<div>This brings me to my request: in the coming
months, The Maintainers organization will be
revamping its communications efforts, and we would
love to highlight new publications on maintenance,
repair, infrastructure, and related topics. So, if
you or others have something coming out, please let
us know, and we will be happy to promote the work!

pioneering book homes in on repair as an everyday
practice. Bringing together exemplary
ethnographies of repair work around the world, it
examines the politics of repair, its work settings
and intricate networks, in and across a wide range
of situations, lay and professional. The book
evidences the topical relevance of situated
inquiry into breakdown, repair, and maintenance
for engaging with the contemporary world more
broadly. Airplanes and artworks, bicycles and
buildings, cars and computers, medical devices and
mobile phones, as virtually any commodity,
infrastructure or technical artifact, have in
common their occasional breakdown, if not inbuilt
obsolescence. Hence the point and purpose of
closely examining how and when they are fixed.</span><br
