thanks, all!
alex: i never saw you last year, when i lived in SF! i'll be back soon for a visit -- we should hang out then.
― geeta, Monday, 12 October 2009 23:25 (sixteen years ago)
Definitely. Email me when you are in town.
― Alex in SF, Monday, 12 October 2009 23:28 (sixteen years ago)
anyone read the Nick Drake one?
― piscesx, Tuesday, 13 October 2009 11:39 (sixteen years ago)
if you order it this week, i've been told that you'll get it in the mail next week.
― willem, Tuesday, 13 October 2009 18:16 (sixteen years ago)
willem -- order from amazon.com (amazon US) if you want the book now. feb 2010 sounds wildly wrong, in any case.
the book is out this week in the US. in the UK and europe, it's delayed from the US by six weeks.
― geeta, Tuesday, 13 October 2009 19:47 (sixteen years ago)
Um, Amazon US still lists it only available as pre-order, and does not give a release date:

― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 13 October 2009 19:55 (sixteen years ago)
Whoops, release date is 10/15, supposedly, which is ... Thursday? Really?
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 13 October 2009 19:57 (sixteen years ago)
yes, it's released on thursday, so if you pre-order it now, you'll definitely get it in the mail next week.
― geeta, Tuesday, 13 October 2009 21:04 (sixteen years ago)
whoops, well i ordered it on the 12th through amazon.co.uk, i'll see it when it comes
yesterday, for the first time, i saw a small segment on the shelves in the local bookstore dedicated to the series! bought master of reality and the vu & n books with some coupons i got. halfway through john's book and it's a good read. (john = gary?)

Still no "Another Green World." Still listed on Amazon as a pre-order.
:(
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 22 October 2009 18:43 (sixteen years ago)
Yeah, its like a tease at this point.

Are any of these on torrents? I know that is a dick question to ask but i am broke..

so are the writers
― Bobby Wo (max), Thursday, 22 October 2009 20:56 (sixteen years ago)
Especially if they don't take the books of pre-order status!
Seriously though, wanting to download these books? Fuck off with that.

deej, it's ok. it's not like many of the series' authors post to ILX, so they'll never find out anyway.

My first bit of promotion: I wrote one about Flaming Lips' Zaireeka & it's supposed to come out next month. Don't settle for the bootleg version.

Should've seen this coming, but currently on Amazon's Zaireeka page:
"Amazon.com Sales Rank: #300,206 in Books (See Bestsellers in Books)
Popular in this category: (What's this?)#13 in Books > History > Africa > Democratic Republic of Congo"
― BleepBot, Monday, 26 October 2009 18:04 (sixteen years ago)
#13! Thank god for specialty charts, hey?

Sorry Amazon is being slow.
The Strand Bookstore in NYC has the Eno book in stock: http://www.strandbooks.com/app/www/p/profile/?isbn=0826427863
Atomic Books also has my book in stock: http://www.atomicbooks.com/index.php/music-we-like-mostly/outsider-experimental/33-volume-67-brian-eno-green-world.html
Powells should be coming through this week. And hopefully the Amazon situation will get sorted out pronto as well.
And please, don't get the book on torrent! The book only costs around 8 dollars, I lost a lot of money writing it, and I'm a music journalist, so you probably have some idea of my shaky finances!
― geeta, Tuesday, 27 October 2009 18:35 (sixteen years ago)
dang it, i just ordered it from Amazon UK and they estimate a Feb. 2, 2010 dispatch date. so i guess i'll be reading it next year then. ;-)
― the not-fun one (Ioannis), Tuesday, 27 October 2009 18:53 (sixteen years ago)
i asked about it when i was at borders and it looked like it had a november release date, weird. i'll get it from amazon or powell's when it's up there.
― Ømår Littel (Jordan), Tuesday, 27 October 2009 18:56 (sixteen years ago)
A magazine paid me actual $ to publish my rejected 33 1/3 proposal. And it's available for free on my blog. No torrents necessary!

Sent you an email via ILX.

a search for album title and your name also works. never heard of the band or read any lovecraft but your description of the music makes me want to find out more. apart from that, i thought that's a terrific proposal and if i were etc... let's say i hope that one day you'll be able to write the book.
― willem, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 10:19 (sixteen years ago)
Thanks Willem! I felt very passionate about it til I got rejected. Then I thought about ten new projects :)

― Kevin John Bozelka, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 10:30 (sixteen years ago)
Just a joke because John wrote to me right after you.
― Nate Carson, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 10:33 (sixteen years ago)
@Geeta (& New Yorkers): GOT IT! thanks for The Strand tip (how appropriate name-wise). it's stacked on a table near (beside/behind) the music section, not on shelves. already enjoying from the Q-ride home - more feedback soon!
― Paul, Thursday, 29 October 2009 16:00 (sixteen years ago)
Awesome, Paul! I stopped by St. Mark's Bookshop and they had some copies of my Eno book too, in the music section.
― geeta, Thursday, 29 October 2009 16:05 (sixteen years ago)

Looks like Amazon finally has it available for reals, for reals.
― We call them "meat hemorrhoids" (Alex in SF), Friday, 30 October 2009 13:10 (sixteen years ago)
Yeah, it's about time! As of this morning, Amazon.com officially has the Eno book in stock, with no shipping delays. That certainly took them long enough.
