ACRONYM, GUYS, IT'S A REAL BOOK.
And it's beautiful. And it's real. And I still can't quite believe it. And it's real. And I knew this day would come, but somehow it's still a shock. And now I need to go hold it some more and marvel at what a miraculous thing a book can be.
Because, guys? IT'S REAL.
**Update: For those who are new/have asked, it is officially released on August 31st, and you are more than welcome to pre-order it. Encouraged, even! Thank you for asking!
**Further Update: IT IS STILL REAL. I have been checking.

Congratulations! I have heard such wonderful things about your book as well. I can't wait to read it. Very exciting. :)
I'm imagining you staring at the box it came in. Should I open it? Who should I open it with? What should I open it with? Am I going to rip it? Will I bend it? Will I get super excited, throw the box, spill my Dr. Pepper, and get it wet and sticky? Do I have to share it?
Sorry, that's probably just me!! Congrats.
LOL! I would do the same thing!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! SQUEEEE!!
That is a pretty sight: your obvious pleasure. The book doesn't look too shabby either ;)
