So happy for Paul...so great that this is happening. He is such a talented writer.
BTW, how do we get a copy if we did the preorder.
No pic of Paul with the book?

If you pre-ordered, I will be sending out the copies next week. There is a picture of Paul on the back cover of the book, and plenty of pictures of him in the book.

I believe swag was asking Jenn if she took any photos of Paul with the book, seeing as he (Paul) was apparently at her house when they arrived to get the first copy, and she took pics of the book and the stacks of cases.

It's a collection of his essays, some of which he posted on his MySpace blog along the way.
Yep. His first book.

Oh Jenn, I rolled all over the couch laughing at this pic. When we asked if we could ship the books to your house, I had no idea....
I got my pre-order in today and can't wait to see it with my own eyes!

No, the funny thing is, David took those pics of the boxes so nobody would have to make the trip upstairs. ;) We stayed downstairs, chatting.

You won't delete it....I'm the moderator. :) I can undelete. Regardless, Ozzie did an OUTSTANDING, AMAZING job on this book. She had the vision, and the follow through. Also, Oz figured out the mechanics of self-publishing.
