    What, they cropped out “THE SHIRT” ???!

    Wow! Perfect picture for the cover. It easily sums up the ‘tagline’. Two thumbs up.

    What? No blue hair? :oP
    Seriously though, I can not WAIT for this book! It is on the top of my MUST BUY list.
    I really dig the cover Wil. It’s very stark but bold in its own way, with a feeling of vulnerability and honesty. Very cool.

    Congratulations Wil! I loved Dancing Barefoot and can’t wait to read JAG.

    Cover art for biographical books can be so much “look at me” drivel.
    Nicely done, and congratulations!

    Is that the actual cover?
    Dang…and I was still holding out hope for a monkey at a typewriter…
    Looks great though…definitely drool-worthy, even from an old lady like me…

    Wonderful picture. I think I remember why I had such a crush on Wil back when I was in middle school, now…
    Congratulations.

  13. Ray says:

    I have to agree with Corey S. The cover really has a feeling of vulnerability and honesty to it. I’ve been excited about buying your book for a while now.

  15. Liz says:

    Congrats comrade, great cover, great pic, and no trace of a double-chin. Awesome cover for what I know will be/is an awesome book. Can’t wait to get my copies.

    Your picture has hypnotized me. Are you some kind of sorcerer?
    Like the blog, haven’t read your print yet, but will, Wil. Wakka wakka wakka!

  24. Dave says:
    21 May, 2004 at 10:41 am

    Perhaps you could use this for a future book cover?

  25. Pete V says:
    21 May, 2004 at 10:42 am

    Very, very cool cover. I will notify the Pyramidians.

  26. LeeNy says:

    Fabulous picture! I remember why I had such a crush on you (at 5, admittedly).

  31. Scott Van Essen says:
    21 May, 2004 at 10:51 am

    SWEET!!!
    It’s the man behind the boy we grew up with.
    I can’t wait.
    Scott

  32. Scott Van Essen says:

    Looking more closely at the picture, I love the shadows on the left side of your face. It gives a great light side/dark side of WW look.

  33. Frederic says:
    21 May, 2004 at 10:55 am

    Great, I’ve just preordered it from Amazon France (and I’ll get free shipping too 🙂
    I really need to read Dancing Barefoot (I was finally able to get it in France thanks to O’Reilly distribution and Amazon France..)

    (if you click the image, you’ll get a surprise.)
    Shhhh. 🙂

  35. katcheya says:

    Heaven indeed!
    You’ve probably accomplished more in the past few years than most do in their intire lives. You definitely have something to be proud of. I’m happy things are coming around and that you’re getting the recognition you deserve. Finally!

  36. cookiemo says:
    21 May, 2004 at 10:59 am

    and you can’t even see your double chin…
    😉

  37. Tim says:
    21 May, 2004 at 11:01 am

    Sweet! Now quick, show us who wrote the Forward! I hate waiting….*does the potty dance*….please….I want this book!

  38. Joe says:
    21 May, 2004 at 11:04 am

    Too cool! Can’t wait to read it…and to find out who the mysterious author of the Forward turns out to be. WFS? Patrick Stewart? Jerry Seinfield? One of the Coreys? Martha Stewart? Danny Elfman?

  39. Sharon says:
    21 May, 2004 at 11:08 am

    so sweet… don’t tell my husband …

  40. StarkRG says:
    21 May, 2004 at 11:11 am

    So, when do I get my advance copy? 😛
    Cool, though you kinda look scary… slightly emotionless… like maybe you’re just barely holding back your dark emotions like a Vulcan who’s gone crazy…
    Wait, what was I saying? Oh yeah, can’t wait to get the book, nice cover too.

  41. NephraTari says:
    21 May, 2004 at 11:13 am

    I LOVE it!!1!!1!
    Now how do I get my copy signed to match my dancing barefoot? heh.

    Customers who bought titles by Wil Wheaton also bought titles by these authors:
    Robert A. Heinlein
    Cory Doctorow
    Neal Stephenson
    Neil Gaiman
    J. Michael Straczynski
    You’re in good company. Of course, so are they. Congratulations.

  45. Paul Roub says:
    21 May, 2004 at 11:16 am

    How freaking cool is that? Any chance Amazon will hook you up as
    Buy this book with I Am Not Spock and save ….?
    Seriously, off to pre-order, that’s me.

  46. Rhonda says:
    21 May, 2004 at 11:16 am
