Hey Pete, the book is selling for $50 US and $60 Cdn (for those local who want to pick it up). For a book this size, it's a pretty good price!

Shane, do you have any links to any of the publicity there has been for the book. I read somewhere it had been featured in a couple of tattoo magazines, it would be cool to be able to see those articles.

It's cool there has been so much press. Do you have any scans of the articles?

How many books have you sold so far?

My scanner went on the fritz so unfortunately i haven't been able to scan any of them yet.

I'm stoked about all the press for sure. There's a bit of TV coverage as well, from local media, to G4, the Space Network in Canada and one of the biggest TV shows in Japan did a segment on it. Again, sadly, i only have one of them on DVD.

I've sold about half of the run at this point, which is great when considering it's a totally DIY endeavour and that i haven't wholesaled to any major retailers, just to some smaller book distribs.

It's so cool to see it doing so well. Considering what a niche market it deals with.

Everyone...buy another copy of the book and tell all your friends to buy one also. I need Shane to sell out the print run so he can start the second book with my profile in it....lol.
