<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Clarice,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Paul Eilers and I have been working on P-spline book for what seems like decades, and we are happy to share the good news that it has finally<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">been published in 2020 with Cambridge University Press: <u></u>
<u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>Practical Smoothing, The Joys of P-splines</i>. <img width="84" height="130" style="width:.875in;height:1.3541in" id="m_-7056886142809168568Picture_x0020_2" src="cid:1754312b02d5b006a1" alt="https://psplines.bitbucket.io/cover_9781108482950.jpg">

<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I wanted to reach out to you, as a colleague and a friend, because<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">not only have you been part of the P-spline ‘force’, but also because your<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">work is cited in our book. And with this Covid-19 mess, it is ‘difficult’ to be
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">social at conferences, etc. We have made a huge effort to keep the price low,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">at under $50/ 40GBP (20% off attached).<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I also you to take a look at our book’s webpage: <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://psplines.bitbucket.io" target="_blank">https://psplines.bitbucket.io</a>, where you will find a variety of<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">things: the book details (Cambridge), our R package (JOPS, <b>
T</b>he <b>J</b>oys of <b>P</b>-<b>S</b>plines),<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">R code for all of our figures, P-spline demos and playgrounds, among other research and teaching tools. We aimed to strike a balance so the book can enrich P-spline users, while making the idea and use of them accessible to new user.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks again for all of your support over the years. Both Paul and I are naturally interested in any feedback. Also please free to inform other colleagues about the book and site.<u></u><u></u></p>
