Prisoner of Trebekistan Now On Sale
Bob Harris' book Prisoner of Trebekistan is now in stores and on sale at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Powell's.
The book's website is here, with the video section particularly recommended. Check out the glowing blurbs from Ira Glass, Joss Whedon, and Brad Rutter (top money-winner in Jeopardy! history).
As I've said before, if you buy this book and aren't completely satisfied, I will come to your house and give you your money back. Just keep in mind that I will then punch youâ€â€Âthough this will be not out of anger, but simply to help you understand that the book's explanation of how violence helps you remember things was right all along.
It's fascinating even if you don't watch Jeopardy!...and needless to say, it makes a great gift for anyone who does. Buy! Buy! Buy! I just bought it myself, along with Hubris by David Corn and Michael Isikoff.

"Buy Prisoner of Trebekistan: A Decade in Jeopardy! and get Seductive Poison: A Jonestown Survivor's Story of Life and Death in the People's Temple at an additional 5% off Amazon.com's everyday low price."
Ummm... yeah, Jon - you keep your strange kool-aid drinking death cults to yourself.
Also, please note that people can avoid being punched by simply not purchasing the book in the first place. You should amend your scheme so that you pre-emptively punch everyone on Earth who is not planning on buying the book. This will presumably require a lot of money for airfare, dune buggies, camels, yerts, sherpas, etc., so I hope Bob's book sells well to subsidize your ordeal.
