Today I opened the B & N preorder page, and there it was: Ahead of Schedule – LIVE!! The price has gone up a few cents, to a 28% discount – still under $13.00.

But the big news is that Keep This Quiet! is available there for immediate delivery, three days ahead of the announced pub date of the 15th. I had visions of the very opposite happening because the book had popped up for preorder before there was even an Ingram account set up. Now the “magic” is continuing to work. And I thank everyone who preordered. You should have your copies in the mail this very minute, I suppose. And I’d love to hear what you think. Even, start a conversation about a question it raises. Hope I’m not biting off too much to chew, but in fact I love questions and discussions. And will try to find the answer if I don’t know it. Such as, today, someone asked me if I knew whether the lst and 2nd printings of Hell’s Angels were only 5,000 copies each. I don’t. But I know that one person might, Jim Silberman, and if/when I talk to him again, I will try to remember to ask. He does hold many memories in his very sharp, pictorial mind. I asked if he was going to write a book about his times with Hunter and he said no. So asking him is the only way to find out the things like that he might remember.

I am also curious what impression of him – that is, Jim –  comes through in the book. I hope it is a very good one. And any response might help me set the focus in the sequel to Keep This Quiet 1, which will cover later years. But I can still address some things that raised interest or questions from earlier.
