As always when it’s quiet around here, I’ve been busy. This time I’m working toward the book launch of Patently Absurd<\/em>. And you can tell!<\/p>\n

In fact you can tell all over the place: at Amazon, at Barnes & Noble, and at many of the places where books hang out. The print and eBook versions of Patently Absurd<\/em> are available for pre-order in lots and lots of places, as you can see at right.<\/p>\n

Review copies have gone out to those publications that have really long lead times, like Booklist<\/em> and The Library Journal<\/em>; I have two large piles of advance copies that are fated to go elsewhere (some to my Kickstarter backers, some to other reviewers, and some to booksellers). I have some smaller stacks of promotional materials and labels. Don’t even look at my dining room table. Please.<\/p>\n

The rest of the world can see the book on March 13 of next year. But, like I mentioned, pre-orders are now a possibility.<\/p>\n

For the print edition, I started out with a reduced price of $12.75 (that’s two dollars off the final price) but Barnes & Noble<\/a> immediately marked it down again; so at the moment you can pre-order the book there for just $9.24. Don’t look at me: they’re wild and crazy<\/em> over there.<\/p>\n

The Ebook pre-order price isn’t discounted anywhere, to my knowledge, but I may run a special for my own pre-orders at Radio Planet Books<\/a>. We’ll see.<\/p>\n

Also, the book now has a presence at Goodreads<\/a> for your adding and to-reading pleasure.<\/p>\n

Radio Planet Books will be selling the eBook editions (you can pre-order there now!<\/a>) and I’m working on a way to sell the printed edition there, too.<\/p>\n

So these are exciting days for me and the UPS driver. I hope that yours are going well, too.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
