This, my first book on papal history, is now available from Amazon.com or directly from the publisher.
It is the first in-depth exploration of papal names and what they mean: with a revised history of papal name changes and a complete account of the rationales for the 125 known instances of assumed papal names.

If you are at all curious as to what motivated me to research papal names, a hitherto overlooked facet of papal history, and write this book (which happens to be my sixth, but the first that is not about technology),
please click here.
This book is not meant to be controversial or sensational. It is instead meant to elucidate and hopefully entertain.
It includes a plethora of brand new facts, statistics and papal history trivia.
I, acutely aware of the ever increasing costs of books, wanted, from day one, to keep the price of this book low — and hence, affordable. To that end, I kept it short and agreed to minuscule rate of royalty. Consequently you can order the book from the publisher for $8.70 (U.S.) plus shipping.
When I started writing this book in late November 2007 I kind of set my sights on an Amazon.com price under $12.00. Well, Amazon.com is selling it at $11.99. So I am pleased.
I think you will enjoy the book. It has 24 pictures. Page 95 is shown here so that you can see what I mean when I say I did include 24 pictures.
If you have any question please do not hesitate to e-mail me or leave a comment.
