This is an introductory textbook in logic, in the series Fundamentals of Philosophy, published by Routledge. I use the text in my Introduction to Formal Logic class at Melbourne. It’s available at Amazon UK and Amazon US. The book has a dedicated website at http://consequently.org/logic.
Hi Will!
Thanks for considering using the text. The McGill and Routledge printings are identical concerning content (and typos, alas!).
There is, as yet, no new edition. Once this print run completes, a new print run will have the typos fixed, but there’s no immediate plan for a new edition with significantly changed content.
The difference in publication dates is just a difference in how this is defined. I’m following the publication details in the front cover of my copies of the book (they say “copyright 2006, Routledge”). It did appear in stores (and in Amazon) in late 2005, but for in bibliography at least, it counts as a 2006 publication.

It was only available on Amazon UK in mid-2006, for some reason (my copy arrived in June). They’re not quite as reliable as Amazon.com…
While I haven’t yet finished it (damn my job for distracting me!) what I have read is very easy to follow, and it’s a good read, which is equally as important.

I’m considering using this text for an undergrad intro course at Rutgers but have a few questions. There appear to be at least two printings of the book, one from McGill and one from Routledge. Are these identical content-wise? Are there any differences? Also, neither Amazon US nor Routledge list 2006 as the publication year. Is there a new edition being released this year (2006)? If so, what’s new to it?
Thanks!
