"Indeed the opportunity be part of the KU Collection was highly motivating -- it really inspired us to pursue excellence on all fronts and to make sure the project progressed as expediently as possible. We realized that if we could publish our book OA with KU, we could serve a very broad and diverse readership. We hope to reach students, scholars, people in professional sectors, and interested lay persons around the world. It also provides great relief to researchers, who no longer need to wait to 'get a book' but can jump into a text spontaneously, anywhere, anytime."
