This is so great to see - OtF beginning to grow to include v small presses that looking for a route to sustainable/reliable #openaccess book publishing. Hope to see libraries get behind this if they can - increasing their own local collections while simultaneously funding OA. Hat tip @eve.gd!

Thanks Christoph, yes sorry I meant if you knew why the OA version had gone. Have a copy of the T&F corporate explanation on the acquisition already, but thanks!

@christophsorg.bsky.social are you able to share any details on this, how you found out, why it happened etc? My colleagues and I at @copim.bsky.social are very interested in developments like this in schol comms, including researching an article on T&F's takeover of AUP.

I wonder what happened here then? Did T&F pull the plug on the official OA version? If so, how is that possible and for what reasons?

The one conspiracy theory I allow myself is that he faked his own death and is living happily on an island somewhere, sipping Mai Tais.
