If You Still Need a Book...

posted on October 1

Hi everyone. When we first launched the project we specifically asked for just New Yorkers because we weren't raising money to ship any books, solely to get them printed. Still, not everyone has gotten theirs yet, and we want to get that straightened away.

If you haven't yet gotten your book, please respond in the comments to this post. We're thinking we'll throw a second book gathering -- this one much more low-key -- and people can come out and pick up their copies. And if you are not in NYC, you could simply send a friend to grab your copy. Sound good?

Please respond in the comments if you still need a book. We'll do our best to find a date that works for as many people as possible. Cheers!

    Daniel Quinn says: Sorry I could not make it out to the opening, working and such. Any date is fine for the future or I could pick up at a strategic drop off point.

    NAGAMONSTER says: Me too. Something came up for me a well and I am also out of state now. I will be more than happy to pay for S&H if I am unable to make the second. I wish I could have been there, I was looking forward to it. Sorry it's a pain in the @ss.

    Thank You

    Jürgen Fauth says: I still need mine. The original timing of the party was perfect, but then it got delayed and I had a baby, which makes things tricky. Thanks guys.

    Emily Jones says: Unfortunately, the economy took a toll on my job in the time between page submissions and when the books came in. I was forced to move out of Brooklyn 3 weeks before the party :( If you plan another book party I can try to come back to NYC for a weekend, or I can have a friend stop by and retrieve it for me if you let me know a good place and time. thanks a lot! --ej // m.six.thirteen@gmail.com
