The Customer Is Always…First?
Friends of books and stuff:
I was alerted by my wife that my former boss (we used to work together… my wife and I, that is) had pre-ordered a couple o’ copies of Patrick’s Super Socks last week and has ALREADY GOTTEN THEM in the mail.
Huh?
Here’s the thing: I’ve got an advanced copy already, but I haven’t blogged about it yet, (and I plan to along with a million other things) but I was supposed to get my big ol’ box o’ copies sometime this month. Crazy me, I suspected I’d get ’em before the rest of the world did.
Not so, apparently.
It’s kind of strange, don’t you think? If you go to the LISTING on Amazon.com, you’ll see that the official release date isn’t listed, nor is there a picture of the cover or anything on there, yet. Crazy, I think. Just…plain…weird.
So, (and this is soooo not a sales plug or anything) if you really wanted a copy of my little book (which is not at all indicative of the stuff I USUALLY write) it sounds like you can go right on there, buy one (nevermind that pre-order business) and you’ll get it without delay…
Most likely before I even get mine.
I am ordering mine right now.
Be PROUD of your BOOK! TKT!

What’s it about, Thomas?
Congratulations!
I’m loving the reverse order of the receiving going on here. Just plain weird but very, very awesome.
Steph – Thanks, Steph! That’s way cool of you. Hope you like it and I’m ASSUMING you’ll get your copy before I get mine!
Sniz – Amazon is stinky in not putting the details of the book on there. It’s about a little guy who can’t sleep without his SUPER SOCKS. When they’re filthy and it’s time for bed, there’s trouble…
Courtney – Thanks, sis! Yeah, I don’t get it. I guess they wanna get the dough and not worry about the writer so much. I smell a writer’s strike!
Our middle girl is the same way about socks. She’d probably like the book.
Well, I just ordered my copy. I might send it to you to have you sign it.
Hey thanks, BD! I hope my post didn’t ‘pressure’ you into buying a copy. Not my intent at all, really. But yeah, I’d be more than happy to sign it if you’d like.
Shoot me an e-mail with your details and I’ll give you my address and what-not.
Also, don’t laugh at me for playing Meet the Robinsons on Xbox 360 lately. I played it for my kid and I got HOOKED on it. Best $13 I’ve spent in a while.
Glad you posted about this because it reminded me to finally get an order in for our copies. Next time we see you we’ll have to get a couple of signatures from you too. Though I have to admit we were a bit surprised to hear that we weren’t mentioned in the book’s dedication…
Are you kidding me? I paid $40 for Katamari. My son is embarrassed that we own this game. I can deal with your $12 investment.
No pressure felt on buying your book. I was planning on getting it and Miss Sniz needed something on Amazon.com. I was a nickel short of getting free shipping, so I decided to splurge and get your book. The timing was perfect.
