POLL: Goats: Infinite Typewriters Released Into Wild

in Merchandise by jon

Tuesday, June 23, 2009 - 12:13 PM

Goats: Infinite Typewriters is officially released today! We're shipping a good portion of the pre-ordered books today and most of the rest tomorrow, so you should have them in your hot dirty hands soon. I really hope you enjoy the book, the whole team at Del Rey did a fantastic job and it looks incredible.

Theoretically the book should be in stores everywhere! Or that's what they tell me.I'm going to try and take a break from signing later to go scout out the local Barnes and Noble but if you have a chance to stop by your favorite bookstore and see it on the shelves, please take a picture! You can email it to me (jon at thissite'sdomain dot com) or tweet it with the #goatsbook hashtag. I'd love to see how many stores are carrying it. I'll try and list the stores I find out about in an upcoming post.

If you're a reporter or blogger or podcaster or the like and you're interested in talking to me about the book, or if you're a bookstore or comic shop interested in arranging for a signing, please drop me a line or tweet me and we'll set something up. Thanks!

This is such an awesome day for you and all of Team Goats - both fictional and actual!

I'm so happy for you and can't wait to appreciate the book's solid and substantial heft :)

Why choose one?

If nothing else, buy some sausages as well. Sausages are tasty!

Just buy the book. Got mine 6/24. It's beyond words. I can't wait to feel that "Thick white gloss paper makes for a book with heft; it feels very solid and substantial." as hack critic Johanna Draper Carlson said.
And the sketch, shirt, and bookmarks were worth it.

I'm gonna buy some sausage too.

Got the book, loved my sketch, but I didn't get the t-shirt shipped with it; will the shirt come separately?

I suspect mine has arrived. It's 16,000km away, so I'm mostly going with the gut feeling here.

my wife bought me this epic tome, and bought one for my cousin as well.

Thanks for the inscription Mr. Rosenberg!

Hey, I got my book today (shipped in less than a week - pretty cool for an international mail) and it looks even more awesome than I expected! Sadly, some time ago I could not help feeling a just bit ripped off, when I found out that I could've saved eight bucks by pre-ordering it on Amazon :(

Of course, then you wouldn't have gotten the nifty postcard and bookmark, and your money would have gone towards supporting a huge company instead of directly to the artist. I appreciate your direct purchase and support!
