Very nice cover – but will you be autographing any copies?
January 11th, 2009 at 10:39 am
Yes, this is a problem because I want an autographed one, too.

Put me down for an autographed copy along with a poster of the Swedish bikini team!

The link to Amazon doesn’t work any more, and BN doesn’t show up on the searches. When will we see good news?
