Last Signable Our Kampfs
Do you want an inscribed Our Kampf? If so, please order soon, because I'm almost out. When they're gone you'll have to get it unsigned from cold, heartless retailers like Amazon.
And even if you like cold, heartless retailers, if you'd been considering buying it, I'd appreciate it if you'd order it now from me. I'd like to get these out the door so I can use the space they're taking up for my collection of miniature warships of the People's Liberation Navy.
If you do get it, please send me email with your preferred inscription. However, be advised that due to certain legal unpleasantness a while back, I can no longer sign books "with best wishes and in hopes we can collaborate on the violent overthrow of the U.S. government."
—Jonathan Schwarz
Posted at January 14, 2008 03:42 PMUmm... dumb question... but are you serious about signing it "with best wishes and in hopes we can collaborate on the violent overthrow of the U.S. government."
Because if you are, legal or not, I'm buying a second signed copy.

Posted by: Jonathan Schwarz at January 14, 2008 04:36 PMi don't do paypal. can't i just send you a check? i mean, and you send me back a book.
Posted by: petey at January 14, 2008 05:22 PMWe certainly accept checks (as well gold and "scrip"). Just send me email and I'll send you back the mailing address.

But with the new proggy administration it will be a kindler, gentler internment camp -- one with a turndown service and pillow mints.
So there's that going for you.

okey dokey!
Posted by: petey at January 14, 2008 06:54 PMPut me down for one, and send me a snail-mail address...I think we can avoid sedition if you merely scratch through, and initial, "violent"...i'd risk it...
Posted by: konopelli/wgg at January 14, 2008 07:23 PMIf anyone's concerned about sending money directly to Mr. Schwartz himself, I can tell you from my own personal experience that he won't steal it. Or, OK, actually I can't. But I can tell you that he didn't steal mine, for whatever that's worth.
