Hi Joel,
No-one's picked up the publication rights yet, unfortunately. As for it being in local book stores that may happen later, certainly it was available in the first edition, before in some places.
The new book is (yet again) having some new information added to it thanks to some amazing detective work by an researcher in Germany who was looking for something completely different and stumbled on this. It won't effect anything to do with the wheel, but it does add some even more colourful material to the long-hoped for film I dream of one day getting made, about Johann Bessler.
Thanks for the comments on the web site - I want and value feedback to make it better. As I've said before, I've never really designed my own web site in total before and its a bit of a steep learning curve, but I'm getting some excellent help from some of you.
As for the physics page - it's already under re-construction again and will appear in a number of different formats and with new content, almost on a weekly basis. Same goes for some of the other pages. I think I will indicate a change both with a date and perhaps a color change on the particular page.

: Actually, two or three questions. First, has the latest edition of your book been picked up by a major publisher, yet? Will we see it on the shelves of the local bookstore?
: Second, the new website looks nice. One difference I did notice that bugs me a little:on the old site, you had posted a complete, if much abbridged, explanation of your theory of what principles Bessler's wheel my have have opperated with. On your new site, under 'The Physics', no detail at all is given. Why this change?
: As I said, though, the site does look nice.
: Best regards;
