  2. Oooh! I can’t wait to get it. Someone above already asked, but I’d like to know, too: Are you going to be selling any signed editions or visiting bookstores to do signings?

  4. Wow!
    A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!!!
    With you looking so hot on the cover it’ll definately boost the sales! I can’t wait!
    Those gorgeous eyes have great depths which we will hopefully discover in the book! I’ll be spreading the word- don’t you worry!

  5. Congratulations Wil..
    That’s really cool!
    I’ll now have to make sure that I read it..
    Great Pic By The Way!
    *mental note to self: Read this book!*
    do you have any advice for want to be writers?

  7. Please tell me this is going to be released in the UK, otherwise I’ll have to move to the US to get hold of it!

  8. No disrepect to Ann, but DAMN!
    And on a more serious note, congratulations of the book and on reaching your $$ goal for the walk.

  9. Frikkin’ A!!!! Great cover (I’m very minimalistic) and a very complimentary photo, too! (It is, it said that it liked my shoes!)

  12. Congrats on the book…
    But that typography could use a little help. Pick a side, left or right, and try the text lined up. Nothing against whoever did it.

  14. Must… Read… NEED… Book…
    That cover looks great! I’m going to be first in line to grab a copy!
    Well done, Wil!

  15. TOOOO COOL…so nice to see great things happening to a great person. Congrats and happy trails next month. Wish I could walk along with ya’ll but I’m in Texas.

  16. Dude, that cover is awesome! Simple, to the point, and featuring Uncle Willy where his political notions stand: Left of center. Coolness!
    Last time I added a Wil Wheaton book to my Amazon wish list, it magically arrived on my doorstep two weeks later. Here’s hoping the Book Fairy will strike again, as I’ve just added JAG with “Must Have” status.
    Wil, I can’t think of anyone who deserves this recent success more than you. Roll in it, my friend, and ride the wave while you can stay on the board (to paraphrase, well, you!). We monkeys will try to keep the wave’s inertia strong…

  19. Wow! I was so excited when I saw the picture of the cover, I thought maybe you were letting us know the release was soon…NOT 2 months away! Oh well. My copy is preordered. And I guess I will have to be happy with a book cover with a good looking guy on it, instead of his poster hung up over my bed, since I’m grown up and married now,*grin sheepishly*.

  22. haha im not old like sum of the people that commented stated they were, so i can say that your so hott 🙂
    nice cover 🙂

  23. the cover looks great! but i didn’t expect it to look so serious. i had always looked up to your humorous side.

  29. Wow, such a great photo! Damn, those eyes just draw you in. Okay, I will go and pre-order your book. :^)

  30. You have very pretty eyelashes. Seriously, you do. I love the cover.
    I’m sure you’ll hit the bestseller list.
    If you do have a signing in Oregon, I’ll be there. We shall meet again. 🙂

  31. Is it gonna be out in time that I could buy it and get you to sign it in Las Vegas at the convention?
    Are they gonna do a thing like at Grand Slam and give you a table where you will have copies available?

  40. Nothing original to add but just had to put in my vote: wonderful, powerful, and compelling cover. Hats off to you and O’Reilly!!!

  43. I’m so happy to hear from so many people who like it! I was so happy when it arrived in my inbox, I may have done some squealing.
    I will definitely have copies of Just A Geek and Dancing Barefoot when I’m in Las Vegas, and Portland and Seattle are absolutely on the list of cities I’ll be visiting if / when I tour.

  45. Oh! Come to Sacramento! Please!!!! Ok, I understand that’s probably not going to happen, but as long as you come somewhere within driving distance (The Bay Area, maybe?) I’ll be there, with as many people as I can fit into my car. Really, we’ll be like clowns squeezing in there, without the makeup or weird clown porno.

  46. Hey Wil. Congrats on JAG. Awesome cover. As a graphic artist, I have seen lots of good design, but more bad design (unfortunately). LOVE IT. Great design. Very clean, quite stark, definitely gives the vibe of “unflinchingly honest tales” and vulnerablity. Like others, it’s another reminder for me of why I thought you were hot as Wesley, and like a fine wine, you have gotten better with age, not only in your looks, but as a person as well (corny, I know, but applicable). Congrats to Anne for getting such a great guy. Also, congrats on EXCEEDING your fundraising goal. My sister had cancer a few years ago and it was all taken care of with surgery. I can’t imagine what seeing someone go through chemo is like, but I know how scary a potentially fatal disease can be. This is also off-subject, but I just got around to listening to the David Lawrence interview and loved it. I applaud your bravery for reading the Aunt Val story out loud. Awesome job. I haven’t read Dancing Barefoot yet, but I ordered it when I pre-ordered JAG. Can’t wait until July. Pure torture for me and the rest of the monkeys, but I’m sure it will be worth it.

  47. Nice. Very nice.
    I have to say I am really looking forward to the book and reading it cover to cover. I have enjoyed reading your web log (or as all the crazy kids call it, “blog”) for about 1.5 years. I have always thought your greatest strength was your honesty and sincerity that comes through in you writing.
    I saw you on TechTV the other day; I finally caught a re-run. I enjoyed the show, but I thought you were trying to hard. I know that even when hosting a show you have to wear a persona, but that person is not the person I read a couple time a week on this site. Just my two cents – nothing like a complete stranger criticizing who you are and what you do 😉

  48. *mouth drops WIDE open*
    Hellooooooo Geek. Wow my friend. That is an awesome picture.
    *serious moment* What does it feel like to be published? To work so hard on something for so long, wanting people to see or read what you’ve done and like it and have it happen?
    What’s it like to chase after a dream for so long…and finally catch it?

  49. Wil,
    You need a more interesting cover. This one is bland, bland, bland. It looks like the cover on a tell-all book from a male hustler.
    You need a cover that respresents what you are: Clever, funny, introspective. This one shows none of that.
    And if you don’t believe covers sell books, you are fucked.
