I will ship books in the shade!

A quick note to the Wheaton 300: The final batch of hardbacks — mostly international orders, but a couple domestics that fell into the wrong box — have just been shipped.

I’m terribly sorry that it’s taken a month for these final books to be sent out, but it’s time consuming as hell to process them all (thanks, US Customs!) and as it turns out, I’m a ridiculously busy guy right now.

I’m excited for these books to find their way into the hands and homes of the few of you who still don’t have them. Thank you for your patience and support. I sincerely hope it’s worth the wait.

  1. I received mine just before I got on a plane to Dallas two weeks ago. It was TOTALLY worth the wait…Ok, I already read the softcover, but still! It was awesome. I had a guy stop to look over my shoulder at the airport and commented – “Is that Wil’s book? I’ve been waiting for that.” I smiled and said that I was reading it cover to cover. He laughed, said, Enjoy! Then, mysteriously he was gone. It kind of wigged me out that he so quickly disappeared. But in that moment, we were bonded by our admiration for your writing. It was cool and I just had to tell you about it. Thanks for that moment in time, Wil! The book rocks 🙂

  5. i have to say i was beginning to worry slightly… the UK postal service is in a load of pooh at the moment… ive been waiting for a letter from spain since the start of last week – fair enough, but they were all sent on the same day, and my mum (who lives less than 5 miles away from me) got hers last friday…
    so starting to get itchy feet – PLUS over christmas (which we aren’t celebrating this year, cause we invented our own holiday and shall instead be celebrating piratemas on the 22nd along with a bunch of other geeks who liked the idea) i have two days off, so really want to settle down with Teh Book, and read away!!!!!
    if not then i will have to hope my amazon order arrives before then and settle for hellblazer novels or the final part of the sandman series as its the last to buy….
    so you’ve made me one slightly relieved lassie at that news wil – thanks!

  7. Ah, so my copy is finally on the way…good, good…my plan is finally coming to fruition.
    *steepling fingers in a Mr.-Burns-like way*

  11. Got your book yesterday morning and i couldn’t put it down. Totally enjoyed you tell us about you meeting WILLIAM FUCKING SHATNER. had to laugh. Everything I’ve read in the press over here in the uk paints him as a bit of a wanker. looking forward to reading the rest of it . Thanks Wil.x

  12. Clinton the Trekkie, don’t suppose you’d mind stopping by my house in Millwoods so I can see the book once you get it lol. I’m a big, poor, fan of Wil who hasn’t even seen the book never mind read it.

  15. I just read Blue Light Special, Wil, and it was wonderful and evoked some of my own K-Mart memories, of Icees, yes, but also of those little sub sandwiches with the shredded lettuce that sold for $1.
    (I’m a little older than you, and the opposite gender, but I was enthralled with Light Bright, and all those neon pegs. The figures era kind of pre-dated me).
    Anyway, just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your story. 🙂

  16. Wil,
    You can depend on any government agency being efficient when it’s to their advantage, and inefficient when it’s to your disadvantage.

  17. (In sing song voice) I got mine yesterday!
    But how did you do it Wil?
    The stamps say 04 December 07, your customs dec. *underneath* (TWO WW sigs! OOOWWwoooooooowWWW!! says 12/6/07 . Have you got a secret DeLorian we don’t know about? 😉
    OH, and MOH is *totally* unimpressed with my Chrissie prezzie to myself, and even though I sprang for it anyway, he didn’t like the bra either. Sheeesh, just no pleasing some people.
    Anyway, have devoured most of it in one sitting, and so pleased to be a part of keeping a roof over your family’s head. Can’t wait for the next one.
    Seasons Greetings to You and Yours and all the WW community.
    Hooroo CST

  19. I got mine in the mail yesterday… I was so happy yet, strangely dissappointed when I saw the number 299… 1 off… I was 1 away from being Thee Wil Wheaton 300… It’s all good though.
    Thanks for the great book… Now wether or not to take a picture of the “bonus” and show it to the world… oh sshhhhhhhh!

  21. Dont get Discouraged Wil!
    I bought an awesome “Stand Back Im Going to Try Science” Shirt for my wife (she is a science teacher. Its full of awesome) and it took the great guys @ XKCD 4 weeks to process my order…and I live in the same dang country.
    So dont worry so much, as long as you keep us entertained and updated its all forgiven

  26. i meant to only read a few chapters of your book last night but i couldn’t put it down! congratulations on another wonderful book!

  35. Mine arrived today, to Ireland, and very nice it is too. I won’t write the number I got because for some reason typepad’s spam filter doesn’t like when I do.

  36. Thanks Wil – mine arrived on piratemas!!!! (saturday for the uninitiated)
    so, i’ve been too busy and ill to look at it other than to ensure it arrived ok… and will settle down with it tomorrow more than likely… after making lasagne.
