I blinked and missed the sale of this book. When might I be able to buy one? Did you know that used copies appear to be available for more than $300? Check this out: http://www.amazon.com/Youre-Fooling-Anyone-Laptop-Coffee/dp/1596060638

#1041 and I don’t think Amazon has counted my pre-order yet. Yes, I suspect you may have misunderestimated.

JD:

“Why just 500?”

Dunno. Seemed like a good number of books at the time. We may have underestimated. If the run sells through we’ll have to think about what we’ll do next.

Why just 500? Is this sort of a pre release type thing. You mentioned Limited Edition, is there an ‘unlimited edition’ on the horizon or do only 500 people get to share your writing guruness?

I haven’t read any of your books before, but thanks to the one-two punch combo of telling that White Castle-loving hippie what for, and then showing a limited edition book on writing with a clever title, I was immediately obliged to pre-order. I also ordered Old Man’s War. Had this incident not occurred, I would say that you would have to be the next Frank Herbert to impress me. Now I will settle for the next Frank Simon. Lofty, sir. Very lofty.

Ordered and done – and how all 500 haven’t been preordered yet is beyond me – are there not my than half-a-thousand aspiring authors out there?
Sweconding Bonnie’s comment witrh a caveat – the new background is nice but the art-deco ‘Whatever’ now completely clashes in my opinion. (and who cares about my opinion anyway, its not my site)

I decided to splurge and grab one of those 500 copies. Am looking forward to it.

Also, I just noticed you changed the background again. Personally, I like this one better–it’s more soothing.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

‘Tis funny. I was just wondering if it makes a difference to them. While it is sclazi.com, they are publishing your book.

Why would it matter what Subterranean prefers? This is my site.

John,

Does Subterranean prefer if you link to them or to the amazon page? They and you get the moolah anyway, but I was wondering.
