$50. Signed hardcover limited to 350 copies. CLICK HERE TO ORDER

(Yes, like the rest of the Clickers series, there will eventually be paperback and digital editions, but they are a long time off. This announcement is for people who prefer hardcovers or signed, limited editions or who want to read the book now, rather than wait a year. Respect those customers, and avoid complaining about the price or limitation).


waaaah they're stealing money from me!!!!!! how am i supposed to grow my audience if i'm making them wait a year to read it because they don't have $50 to blow on a manufactured collectible!? waaaaah!
Yeah, see, this is my thing.

All this hand-wringing over HOW CAN YOU DISLIKE AN AUTHOR FOR WANTING TO MAKE A LIVING is straight over my head when the only purchasable copy is a ridiculously inflated amount for a limited edition hardcover signed etc. version.

I'm not going to download his books, but I also reserve the right to think he's using this whole dust-up as free publicity (because complaining = views, how many of us had never heard of him before this) for an overpriced version of his work.

Trying to wring $50 a pop out of your fans and leaving no other versions to buy for the poorer fans isn't responsible author-behavior in my opinion. Not when the economy is what it is right now. I find that really sleazy. YMMV.
