Just snagged my ten copies from Madison Street Books -- Chitown represent!

Looking forward to leaving at least one copy sitting ominously on a park bench.

This is amazing, funny and very clever! I live in Canada - I have just added 9 more orders on PayPal to my previous order which makes 10 at my local bookstore Manticore Books (Orillia, ON) . what can I send you as proof , and how does this enter me in the Hype house ?

This is brilliantly on-brand. I’ve got about 30 pages left of IYSTIMFY so I’m deep in Deckler creeps right now.

This is such a clever preorder campaign it feels almost criminal, and I just ordered my 10. See you in September.

I imagine the extra copies in public reading nooks, like my local taproom, coffeehouse, and sent to friends. It's threefold publicity right there. So brilliant. If that doesn't tell me your class is going to be awesome, nothing will! Signed up under Marina Lane.
