The book isn't in the front for "New Releases". I had to go downstairs to find it, and they only had 3 copies. They were facing sideways, so you couldn't see them very well, so I rearranged the shelf.
I bought one, and told the customer service desk that they should put it out front, and that there were only 2 left. The desk did not answer, so I waited for an employee to come to the desk, and I told him. Stupid non-sentient desk. The clerk ordered another batch of books, and said he'd bring it up at a meeting they were having tonight. Hopefully he's not a liar. I'll stop in tomorrow, and if they aren't sold, I'll buy them myself. |

This book is fucking brilliant, you guys did an amazing job. I know it's good when I'm in the living room posting the show, and I can hear dana in the bedroom laughing out loud with the door shut and I have headphones on. Job well done.
Here's my pics, if you don't want links I'll get them off the site and attach, or jeremy can do it for me ![]() Pic 1 - Still on the display rack. I was going to take them all and put them in the front of the store somewhere, but then i figured if someone asked an employee where they were at, they would have no idea, so I didn't This pic is from the borders computer here in kalispell montana. It has chemda listed as the author. Thought you might get a kick out of that. I guess Dana took the book fishing with her, so i'll have to take a pic of us with the book when she gets home. And honestly, I thought the same thing at first glance that the kid who wrote into the show did, talking about the ink being rubbed off on the cover. Then I looked at another copy and realized I was being silly and they were supposed to look like that. Again, congrats, you guys have earned it. The book is brilliant. |

I'm going to the bookstore after work to see it on the shelf. If I had time I'd get a Cardigan, some glasses, and a pipe and just hang out reading it while laughing out loud in one of their big comfy chairs.

I got my copy yesterday, unfortunately I've been too busy to finish it but I've put a good dent in it so far.
I tried my hardest to avoid laughing out loud so I could get my money back. At times I managed to chuckled, guffaw, giggle, snort, and belch (although for unrelated reasons), but this book is a worthy opponent and I did indeed succumb to laughing out loud. You win this round, book! |

If we lived nearby I would meet you there, with a monocle, top hat and pocketwatch, and I'd wax my moustache. We could read it together (separate copies, of course), but to be honest, I think it would be funniest if I pulled a folding chair out from under the rug and attacked you. Nothing personal, I just think it would sell more books.
