TL;DRAbstract
Quantity implicatures had been haunting me for about a decade, when I finally decided it was time to put my mind at rest. Writing this book proved to be of considerable therapeutic value, but of course my hope is that it will be of value (therapeutic or otherwise) to its readers as well. Since I have been thinking about this topic for quite a few years, there was ample opportunity for changing my mind, which I did a number of times. I've had my heretical phases (most recently in my 2005 paper on disjunction), but they are behind me now, and I'm glad to be back in the Gricean fold.
