So yeah, everybody keeps asking (clamoring!): "Where can I get your first book, case sensitive?"
Well, you can buy one from Max when you come to hear me read. Look for a man with a worn train case. 17 copies can fit in there, snugly. (We began with a modest hope: to sell four. Now we've graduated to a goal more grand: to return from a reading with an empty case. So far, our per-gig record is 11 sold. You can help.)
But you needn't wait until The case sensitive Tour comes to your town. cs is also available at SPD, at Amazon, or directly from Ahsahta Press (much preferred! please support my publisher).
Or there's your local bookseller. You might even live in a place with a bookstore cool enough to have case sensitive in stock. If not, you could special order a couple of copies then decide you need one less than you've ordered so that one remains on the shelf for some other browser to find--how thoughtful you are! *
Speaking of, I got a thoughtful fan letter last week from someone who bought case sensitive at Pegasus Books in Berkeley (note his photographic evidence). Among his entertaining observations (and what endeared him to me most) was the comment that he liked my inclusion of footnotes and wished I had used even more of them. Vindication is sweet! Thank you, dear reader.
ps: But is it wrong to suggest that people order one more book than they will actually take home? Any booksellers out there want to give me an opinion on that?
* Booksellers say it is wrong. And booksellers are our friends.
