When my metaphysics was accepted for publication, I did feel that I had put in a "superhuman" effort. Now, a year later, I reveal that my book surpassed, by
42.6%, the last Guinness world record for manuscript rejections—specifically, rejections
before acceptance. My book had
231 rejections vs. world record holder Dick Wimmer's
162 (pictured). While s
omeone out there may have had more rejections, it seems that none has presented proof of that many rejections—yet. OBSERVATION: The bar is very high,
for acceptance of a metaphysics, so that rejections do not reflect much
on the calibre of the work. By the time a publisher accepts a
metaphysics, it has to be an exceptional book. In this case, the book
itself reveals the vast complexity of getting it to production. Three
months after publication, it has mostly had five-star reviews.
