My book now seems to be ready to purchase on iUniverse. For now, that's the only place you can buy it for at least the next month. But although I have not yet received the book in my hands, it is available for.....shall we say, others, to buy. The book costs $22.95, and is printed on demand, so it should be sent to you within a day or two, if I understand correct. "Lost Episode Guide For Others" my own personal recap of the last four seasons- Ben or no Ben- is available for purchase at www.iuniverse.com/Bookstore/BookDetail.aspx?BookId=SKU-000111442 |

Nice cover! Did you get any input into the cover?

It was mostly my idea, as I told them I wanted the smoke monster and the coffin there. They're the ones that came up with the specific background, though. I also wanted a few more things in there, like plane debris and a lottery ticket with the numbers on it, but those ideas seemed to be ignored. It works great as is, though.

I finally got a copy of the book in my own hands this afternoon. I waited 12 days after the book went live on iUniverse to get it, but now I can read my own words in book form. I am still waiting for my other four free copies to arrive so I can give them to my designated people.

How great it must be to actually write a book about a tv show that you're obsessed with. It must not have even seemed like "work" or even "writing" a book. Major congrats!!

Currently there is a bit of a snag to get in the way of a celebration. The table of contents page, which iUniverse's people wrote completely by themselves and not me, is numbered wrong. For instance, it says that the "Pilot: Part 1" episode starts on page 11. But they are counting the first page of the table of contents section as page 1 in the book and counting from there. In reality, the Pilot starts on page 3, but they have it listed on the table of contents as page 11. All the other episodes have the same problem, as their actual page numbers do not match up with their table of contents listing.
So we are trying to get in touch with someone in iUniverse that can fix this before too many people get copies of the book like that. Hopefully I don't have to pay extra money to change this, since although I didn't detect the error before approving the book, their people wrote it wrong, not me,

The error now appears to be fixed, but people won't be able to order the book on iUniverse for a few days until the corrections are printed. It doesn't appear that I have to pay anything, I just have to order the five free books again.
