Second Printing — Preorders Are Now Open
You Asked for More
The first printing sold out online — 900 of 900 copies claimed. So I ordered a second printing: 1,000 copies, with 500 available to preorder online and 500 held back for book tour stops and in-person sales.
Second-printing copies are not autographed and do not include a First 500 certificate. Preorders ship as they are ready, no later than October 15. US shipping only.
