Impatiently awaiting the signed hardcover version!

Jack Baruth's avatar

The mighty Matt Tierney is squaring away the graphics right now. The hardcover has a different cover graphics package, an additional preface, and two more drawings.

I've requested a hardcopy.

Sorry, being a bit dense, but is the PayPal address for the hardcover the cattalesbook.com address or your Gmail address?

Jack Baruth's avatar

Either should work.

Congrats on getting it published.

really enjoyed the book, jack. had to say that i did not know you and mr. epstein had such a close personal relationship but once you talked about all the time you spent together on little saint james it all made more sense.

Jack Baruth's avatar

Cat tales indeed!

"that kitten was 17 weeks and 6 days old you sick fuck!"

"I appreciate those of you who have taken the leap to read twenty stories about feral cats, as opposed to, say, some Chris Harris book about how STONKING the MEGA FEZZA V12 is and so on."

At least Harris had the balls to get temporarily blacklisted by Ferrari (from press cars and from retail sales) for revealing the use of specially prepared ringers for press cars.

I wonder what would have happened if he had instead made fun of the way Luca di Montezemolo drove on track.

Cormac McCarthy said that the core of literature is the idea of tragedy, a theme repeated throughout the stories, so a death discovered the eve of it's publishing gives perhaps a spiritual nod marking the event.

Looking forward to the hardcover version as even Jack finally getting off his ass and publishing won't end my personal avoidance of all things Amazon. After I pass and the book winds up at Goodwill I hope they display the backcover.

Slightly to my surprise (which says more about me, I suppose) and by the miracle of modern commerce, this is immediately available on the sceptr'd isle. I have accordingly dealt and will repeat the same for my cat loving daughter anon.

Jack Baruth's avatar

This is good news, because my faculty mentor currently lives in the UK and I'd like to get a copy to him. THANK YOU for your purchase!

Categorized as such on Amazon.co.uk - Books›Biography›Social & Health Issues›Cultural History

Indeed this is important cultural history

Henry C.'s avatar

Which format gives you the biggest cut?

Jack Baruth's avatar

Buying a paperback or hardcover from me directly. I can also sell paperbacks for $20 shipped.

David Florida's avatar

Jack, is PayPal the only system you are using currently?

Jack Baruth's avatar

I'll take a check, money order, or a wire transfer!

Hardcover@cattalesbook.com

David Florida's avatar

Thanks! PayPal to the usual address already sent. I had avoided opening an account for long enough.

chickens? perhaps an elderly goat? I have no ugly daughter but were that so??

Jack Baruth's avatar

I would take a goat.

You can now order coffee and shamelessly have "best selling author Sack Beartooth!" called out to a room full of phone scrollers.

Jack Baruth's avatar

Do you think that would help me get more Kindle Unlimited Page Reads?

Andrew White's avatar

Yes, because you can do book signings in coffe shops.

-Nate's avatar

If so I'll wait for it .

-Nate

Jack Baruth's avatar
