Absurd Self Promotion

OK, this is semi-old news and I’ve been shy/loathe/embarrassed to post this. Then again, I am always preaching that we have to tell the world more about librarians and libraries… so here goes:
Our book, Out Front With Stephen Abram is out. It was released at ALA Midwinter Meeting in Seattle and was, I am told, the bestselling book in the ALA Store! I gave away a few copies as prizes in the SirsiDynix Institute sessions at ALA too. It was actually quite exciting for me.
Anyway, if I have the picture feature working again (the Moveable Type hotline tells us this is not possible), here’s the cover:

I was helped by (indeed it was actually all done by) Judith Seiss and Jonathan Lorig. I am eternally grateful to them for their work. I am especially thrilled that Judith persisted in talking me into allowing this work to be created.
If you’re interested in purchasing a copy:
1. It’s on Amazon. You can find it here. Amazon.ca has it here.
Feel free to write a review and rate us. It’s $40.00 on Amazon althrough there’s a few used editions for more!
2. It’s available through ALA Editions. You can order it here. It’s only $36.00 for ALA members.
3. I hear it will be on Google BookSearch soon too.
4. I’ll be signing copies at the SirsiDynix Super Conference in Colorado Springs on Sunday Feb. 18th at 7 pm.
5. Canadians can, of course, buy this through CLA. http://www.cla.ca
6. We’re doing signings, we hope, at Canadian LA, SLA, and ALA too! Maybe a few more.
I hope you enjoy it.
Stephen
