[update: since time of post, we've pre-sold a total of 163 and have ordered another 100 books - sum total of 200. there are now 47 41 36 21 11 copies remaining of the advance version [signed, etc] so if you’re wanting on, I’d suggest putting some haste in your step. after this, it won’t be possible to autograph… which is a weird thing to say, but hey.]

okay, first things first. the above is a photo I took solely for noting the size of the novel, as it looked tiny in some photos. this is the only reason it is standing next to my all-time favorite book. I just happen to always have High Fidelity on me and used it to scale. that being said; the shanghai [exile] diaries is a big book! 339 pages! and regular-sized font. I’m proud of it.
ok. right…
the advance copies / pre-sale / etc.
I was going to run about 100 for the early edition, but as of yesterday’s debut, we’ve already gotten orders for 56, which means we might need a few more. obviously, this is a good problem to have, but… but… if you are wanting a copy, I highly suggest you move quickly. I don’t want the Sooners [Oklahoma reference - means you jumped the gun] having to wait. no, they will not. in fact, they should not have to do anything, ’cause they were here first.
so…
if you want a signed copy, please get your orders in quickly!!
thanks!

p.s. also, until the end of day today – Friday [April Fools - I know. this is why I released yesterday], if you order a hard copy, you’ll also be sent the electronic version [ebook; for iPad, Kindle, etc] for free. it won’t be out for a month or so, but it’s still a $15 bargain!
