B:CP is certainly the most \_important\_ and \_brilliant\_ work  
in cognitive science from the 20th (or any other) century.  
But I would have a hard time voting for it being the most  
\_influential\_. Are they giving an award for the most important  
and least influential book of the 20th century? If so, I think  
we have a winner!

Best

Rick

Bill--I noticed the your book is one of those nominated below. Seems to me  
you could get your group to lobby on your behalf by supporting the original  
nomination.
