Amazon and Barnes & Noble are Shipping The No Asshole Rule

The No Asshole Rule is my fourth book (excluding several academic volumes) and I am still bewildered by many aspects of the publishing business. I thought that the release date of 2/22 would mean that the books wouldn’t ship until that day, but apparently that means the day that the book has been shipped and shelved in enough places that is safe to say it is widely available. I was pleased, and a bit surprised, to discover that both Amazon and Barnes & Noble started shipping the book yesterday. And Kent Blumberg has already posted a review on Amazon — thanks Kent! So it is out, I am a bit shocked, as I was assuming I had a couple more weeks.

This also strikes me as a good juncture to thank all the great bloggers and all the people who have sent me so many great comments and stories. I started to put down a list, but it was so long and, as I am a bit rushed, I was worried I would leave someone out. I will do that later in the week. In the meantime, you know who you are, and I am most grateful for all your help and wisdom.

    What is even more amazing / confusing is that the German translation was apparently released in October 2006:

    Is the 2/22 release an enhanced 2nd edition?

    Bob:
    You have done such a terrific job at keeping us all in the loop and involving us in the conversation that I now must not only purchase for me — although I am about 9 books behind in my reading — but also for others.
    Any suggestions on how to get your insightful work into the hands of, hem… @$$$holes?

    As of February 9th, TNAR is on the shelf at Borders in downtown Boston – with good placement on the new non-fiction display just inside the door. Although I already have my personal copy, it was fun to see it there.
