I need to be in the loop!

June 1. Thanks for your interest.

Ngrh, the anticipation is killing me. Btw, Manton, are you planning to offer any copies of the book for sale directly (ie getting a bigger cut)? If so, I will cancel my Amazon pre-order

!

With all of the great posts on proper clothing, I've been looking forewrad to the book. I have not ordered as I want a copy with an autograph. How do I order one of that type?

Manton, did you decide to make it more picture-heavy? I think I remember your mentioning that there was some discussoin about that.

Yeah, it went something like this:

Me: Let's put a lot of pictures in it!
Publisher: Too expensive
Me: But it would be great!
Publisher: It's not that kind of book
Me: I think it would help make the book better
Publisher: Do you want us to publish this or not?
Me: Yes, sir.

Seriously, if anyone from HarperCollins is reading this, I love you guys!

As to autographed copies, I really have no idea if there are plans for that. Certainly, if anyone wants to send me a copy, I will sign it and send it back.

Sorry to hear that you didn't get the pictures you wanted.

All the same I am very excited to read it.

Will you agree to sign the book with ALL of your names?

Amazon is still saying there's a projected delivery date of May 5-9 for my order. I guess that just needs to be updated. Looking forward to it!

Beat me to it. Every time I order from Amazon I see "The Suit" taunting me from my pre-orders list....

Not really. Books usually ship from the bindery a month before the official publication date, and will start popping up as soon as a week after that. It's not like a movie (at least not on 99% of books) where there's a national launch date.
