So if you should wish to be so gracious (and if you live in North America, because otherwise it would be silly) you can now order my book in print directly from CreateSpace. Or you can wait another week and order from Amazon; all the other ordering options are listed and will be updated at my website.
Print edition costs $16.50, which has nothing to do with my being greedy (I make less off of it than I do from $4.99 ebooks, which will be especially true when it reaches non-US markets) and everything to do with how much a 468-page book costs to print (but at least the font is readable now).
I've already had to upload a new version with (I hope) most of the typos fixed - or rather, places where italics were typed and then were stolen away on a random basis by a vengeful italics god. Had said god stolen all my italics, I would have sighed and got on with putting them back; somehow having only some of them vanish is much harder to cope with, especially since I'd already done the complete final edit and proofread (for the next book I plan to do this all in a different order Because Now I Know). One tends to skim and say "well, there are lots of italics in this section; how could any of them be missing?" But yet.
Unless you are as hypersensitive as me to what should be there and isn't, this shouldn't affect your reading pleasure, but please do let me know if you find mistakes and I'll fix them in a later edition. And if you bought the ebook before two days ago, you should be able to download an updated version with more italics in it. Yay?
Oh, learning experiences, how I do love you. But with all the faults of the first proof, I have to say it was great to have it in my hand. And, given to dramatic gestures as I am, it was lovely to open the package just as "Level Up" came up on shuffle, and dance around and slam the thing down in time to the subject line lyrics. Because really, one can either embrace disappointment or joy in life as a whole or in the little pieces of it, and I do try for the latter when I can. And I like real objects; they make a pleasant noise.
If you have already read the book, and if you're so inclined, I would greatly appreciate a mention or a review in whatever public venue you prefer. Word of mouth/fingers is the only way to get any sort of momentum going.
