News: here’s something I’ve been hinting at: Gammorean Guard instrux!
At almost the last minute, a tiny space opened in the book. Just BARELY enough room for bonus instrux! These are in addition to the 2 sets of instrux in the back.

Also, let’s do a live TTT tomorrow night. How about another doodle session?

Other news:

# Only two weeks until Emperor Pickletine is out!!! Yeeha! I hope you guys are going to like it, I really do!

# In case you missed it, there will be NO scratch and sniff trading cards with any edition of the book. However, there may be some scratch and sniff stickers at some events and bookstores.
There are also 3,000+ signed copies of Pickletine floating around out there! Check with your local bookstore to see if they’ve got one!

# In a week, I’m headed to Lewisburg, WVA, for their book fest. And I’ll be at the Decatur Book Festival (Atlanta) over Labor Day Weekend. Tony DiTerlizzi and I are doing a Star Wars panel together!

# Ever wonder what will happen to origamiyoda.com after the series ends? Oy.com is about more than the books, it’s about the awesome stuff you SFs are making! So, the site will keep going and …. who knows, maybe I’ll have some news for you before long.

# Congratulations to Jeffrey Brown who won an Eisner Award at ComicCon for his amazing Star Wars cartooning in Vader’s Little Princess!
