We are not accepting payment for these yet and all sales (not just the profits, but 100% of the sales price) will be donated to charity. We are still in the process of setting up a way to have buyers pay the charity directly. Please e-mail me at [email protected] if you want to buy a copy and we'll hold one for you. We have announced this to just a few people and so we only have 8 hardcovers left to sell. Mark & I wanted to give the members on this forum a chance at this release, if interested. The paperback edition, Signed by Hornby, will sell out very fast, but the hardcover edition, signed by Hornby & Springsteen will sell out well in advance of the release date.

We are about two weeks from being able to ship this book.

Thanks,
Bill
 
The Hardcovers signed by both Nick Hornby & Bruce Springsteen are sold out. Everyone that emailed me to hold a copy are good. We will take a few names for a wait list. It is always possible that someone will back out. The paper copies are still available, but will likely go fast once these are announced on the Springsteen boards, etc...

that post makes me a little jealous about how many times we get turned down by people we're looking to publish - this chapbook is an amazing venture, but the idea that you could just send a letter to bruce springsteen's manager and receive a contract in the mail in return boggles my mind. i have a hard enough time getting artists who have literally never been published before even to email me back, let alone tell me they're not interested in having chance press publish their work.
