We are seeking peer reviewers for the Metaphysics book in an open textbook series for Introduction to Philosophy courses. The series is designed for 100-level college courses, and is being put together by series editor Christina Hendricks of the University of British Columbia. The books are freely available to students and faculty and openly licensed to enable revision and reuse. We have so far published six books in the series: Philosophy of Mind, Ethics, Logic, Philosophy of Religion, Epistemology, and Aesthetic Theory and Practice.
