The New Phonebook's Here!

By

Remember “The Jerk“? The scene where Steve Martin finds his name in the new phone book and yells “I’m somebody!”?

Well, here’s my “Jerk” moment. I just got this e-mail from Amazon:

  1. Doug says

    Will, to affirm your reaction I got a similar email message from Amazon about your book, and I thought, “He’s really somebody now. I wonder how that feels?”

    Congratulations.

  2. Tom Hoffman says

    So… how much does it actually cost? You might want to make that link in the letter work properly, too, if you actually want people to order the book.

  3. Will Richardson says

    $27.95…and Tom. C’mon now. I don’t want the link to work. I want you to order it through me. That way Tess and Tucker have a better chance of going to college than if you paid the money to Amazon. ;0)

  4. Glenn says

    Navin R. Johnson is somebody!

    I’ll buy one, let’s hope it has the same success as the the opti-grab; with a more positive impact of course.

  5. John Pederson says

    So much fun, so much free time.

    1. I’m just going to wait until it sells millions and every college student in the country is offloading it on Amazon Marketplace for $1.99.

    2. I hear it’s going on eBay for twice that price.

  7. John Pederson says

    Only the popular ones go on Marketplace for that much. It’s the rare ones that hold their value.

    Here’s to Tess, Tucker, a 4th printing, and the 3rd, 4th, and 5th editions, coming out summer 06, mid-fall 06, early to mid-winter 06.
