Bill Whittle's book out soon!!!
I link to Bill Whittle at
EjectEjectEject when he posts new essays. He comes out with a new one every month or so and they are all of them great and required reading.
Today,
he posts that his collection of essays is due from the publishers any day now and will be available from his website (or Barnes and Noble or Amazon):
bq. "
SILENT AMERICA: Essays from a democracy at war" is now at the printer. I should have a proof in my hands by Friday or Monday.
bq. My buddy Buster O' Connor, back in good old Hogtown, did the cover and I JUST LOVE IT. I love it.
bq. The 6x9 paperback came to a mere 232 pages; each volume must be delivered by forklift. I plan to send this softcover out to a few well-known folks, and with luck, I'll be able to get one of them to write an introduction, which I will then put in a commemorative hardcover, along with some biographical notes and other goodies. But right now I'm completely focused on getting out a paperback for the stocking stuffers.
bq. Now, looks like PayPal purchases can start as soon as this weekend or very early next week. It should be available on Ingram and Barnes and Noble by December 6th, but won't get to Amazon until the end of December. Paypal copies will ship within 2-4 days of the order being received, and there will be priority shipping if you so desire. The price is $29.95, and then whatever shipping options you choose. It will all be finalized in the next day or so.
And more:
bq. I am so overwhelmed and excited. I really can't believe it. The worst part is not having a CLUE how many of these I will sell.
bq. And when this is out of the way, we start with the book I've been wanting to do for a year now: a citizenship book, one that's more timeless and universal, less about Republicans and Democrats and Liberals and Conservatives -- and especially, less about Iraq -- and more about the values and perspectives a good citizen needs for the 21st century if we are to hand this proud country on to the next generation in better shape than we found it.
Cool - I'll be getting a couple of them... Thanks Bill!
