    She's in our meetup...

    That's great! How on earth did she get Janeane Garofalo to write a review? That trumps ray franz, in my book.

    I'm also curious about why she went with a hardcover edition instead of a less-expensive paperback. And did she look at LuLu as a printing option?

    The cover art is BRILLIANT! What a clever turn on the old From Paradise Lost illustrations.

    Maybe you can invite her to join us here A@G.

    Isn't this standerd practice for any serious mainstream book?
    First release the expensive hardcover, and then later release paperback after initial sales have tapped out?

    If this book is being reviewed by NPR and Janeane Garofalo, this is not nearly the niche book CoC is.

    Plus, the preorder price of 16.50 seems a pretty good deal.

    Hm. Mainstream comedian/movie star thinks it's funny. Let's hope there's a movie deal with major actors soon! You know JWs would see it even if they didn't tell anyone they did.
