Close on nine years ago I wrote a book called Circles of Recovery that reviewed the scientific research on addiction-related self-help organizations. My publisher was in the UK (Cambridge University Press) but I am a US citizen and was living in the US at the time. When the book came out, I therefore filed the necessary paperwork to avoid double taxation of my meager royalties.

Nominative determinism strikes again. You may now tell your pub mates that you are the proud author of an aptobiblionym.
That is really clever James, I hadn’t noticed that when I wrote this!
