Remember when I told you that I was doing a very limited, collectible hardback printing of Dead Trees Give No Shelter?
Well, it’s ready to go on sale RIGHT NOW! There are just 200 of these, and when they’re gone, they’re gone. I’ve priced them accordingly, at $100, which I know is a lot, but I’m offering a discount for today only, as my very small way of saying thank you to everyone who has supported me and my work for all these years.
It’s been awhile since I did my own little indie print run like this. In fact, I think I have to go all the way back to the initial release of The Happiest Days of Our Lives to find the last time I handled printing and order processing and printing all on my own. It’s a fair amount of work, but it’s tremendously satisfying to see where in the world my words are going to go live.
I’ll start taking orders right away, but just know that it’ll be a couple of days before I’m actually able to ship these, since I’m just one person doing it all myself. (And because I’m doing this all by myself, I’m not able to autograph or number these. HOWEVER! If you come see me at a convention from now until the heat death of the universe, I’ll be thrilled to sign your copy for you, at no charge.)
I’m really excited for everyone who wants one of these to finally get to have one. The design and artwork in this edition is just beautiful, and it feels very special to me. Oh, and if you care about this sort of thing (and I hope that you do) this is printed in America, in a union shop.

Done and done, without hesitation. 🙂
I am a bit sad they won’t be autographed, but I will hold out hope that you come to NY one of these years. I miss living in Phoenix.
Got my copy! Cannot wait to get it!
What if you signed the first 25? Or even the first 10, hell just mine. If so, I am sold. I ordered Levar Burton’s sci fi book and I didn’t pay for expedited shipping so when I saw him, and it had’t arrived yet, I asked him to sign a post it note saying, “Hey Keven, next time spring for priority shipping.” Then I stuck that to the inside of the book. In case a laugh would change your mind.
I bought the e-book addition and just loved it. You are a great writer. Hope to see more from you soon.
Also purchased. I enjoy your stories and look forward to diving in. 🙂
Happy new books Friday to me! Loved this story, can’t wait to have a physical copy to share with my household.
I just ordered mine, can’t wait to see you again!
Thank you for being you!
“HOWEVER! If you come see me at a convention from now until the heat death of the universe, I’ll be thrilled to sign your copy for you, at no charge.”
I know the convention I go to your meemaw will be sick….
I tried listening to the audio, holy cow, I am a wuss, I couldn’t finish it.the narration and writing is incredible. Sorry, I could not finish it.😥
Awww, sure wish it could be signed, but it is ordered nonetheless. We never get to see you in the Southeast, so guess it won’t ever get signed. Thanks for all that you do Wil You and Anne both.
I don’t know what part of the Southeast you’re in, but I’m coming to Raleigh Supercon later this month, in North Carolina.
Ordered and can’t wait to get it! It’s really awesome that you are shipping these out yourself! I think it’s really great. Really hope you can come back to Dragoncon one year!
So looking forward to this. Anne signed her book for me at a con, and now I have an excuse to hunt for you at another one!
Ordered. I noticed that the Checkout page was not using HTTPS, so I’m a little worried about that.
Oh shit I didn’t realize we weren’t configured for ssl. I’m out, but the instant I get home, I’ll fix it.
Don’t hurry home. While your checkout page isn’t encrypted, no one is entering any credit card data there so nothing is being POSTed, and our conversation with Paypal is over SSL. You’re only passing your code and transaction token and amount. No risk to the users, just not best practices for you.
I hear ya. It’s an embarrassing oversight. I appreciate you bringing it to my attention.
Not as embarrassing as when you were first learning linux, CleverNickName. 😉
And here I am on my Mint desktop, using workflows I’ve written into my .bashrc, quietly resenting the one or two times a year I have to boot into Windows!
Ask Sheldon to fix it ! 🙂
w00t! We love you Will!
*Wil effing autocorrect!
thank you Wil!! I am so excited. There have been a few things I have missed out on bc i am not that technologically connected (i am not meant for this century) thank you for just touching my copy. Instead of signing copies you could just like tear off a corner of the title page or something — like that would be your signature. :o)
Thank you so much for sharing your craft with the world, Wil. I love this story and am delighted to have a physical copy for my library.
Yes! I was worried when I just saw the post 8 hours after the fact but I was able to grab one! Hopefully I’ll be able to get down to Raleigh SuperCon later in the month to have it signed. Or if you make it back to AwesomeCon again sometime. Thank you for doing this.
As one of the 300, I am so disappointed to have missed out on this! As one of the 300, I am also so thrilled for you as the mere hours it took for your hardback to sell out hopefully shows you how much we love your work. Congratulations!
Out of stock?! Are you kidding me?!
I only woke up 30 minutes ago (Germany), saw you posted something, read the post, clicked in “buy a copy” (already coming up with really good reasons why I had to have it for my husband) and now there’s none left!
going back to bed, sniffeling
My husband just came in, I told him the sad story and he said: “Shame, would have been a great birthday present for you” On the bright side: Next time you release a 100 $ hardback collector’s edition in early July I won’t have trouble to sell it to my husband. Just have to point him there and say “birthday” …
I’m in Australia and with the exchange rate was pondering whether I could actually afford this, but I pondered too long and it’s out of stock already! Congratulations 🙂
Whoah, congratulations on selling these out in about 30 seconds flat. I’ll have to grab the next one. 🙂
Any chance on a second print run? Been checking nearly every day since your post about these but I was too late to get one. Pretty disappointed.
Oof! Step away from the internet for holiday activities and end up with a gap in your Wil Wheaton book set. Will try to be more diligent next time!
It’s a great story. Damn, missed the email notice over weekend. Please do a reprint.
Sadly I’m late, but I’m happy demand was high.
I was out of town, and missed out. But happy to see you were a quick sellout!
Damn it. I had house guests and did not check my email in time. So glad to see you sell them so quickly. At least I got the last t-shirt!
That will teach me to check my emails on the long week-ends!! Damn!! I’m so happy for you that the books sold so quickly, but I knew they would, What are the chances for a paperback printing?
Wow! That went fast like the speed of lighting! I was at Summerfest the World’s Largest Music Festival in Milwaukee celebrating my 46th birthday when the post came in. That would have been a cool birthday present! You are definitely loved! Blessed Be!
As someone who was without internet connection for the last few days, I’m super bummed that these sold out. As a fervent Wil Wheaton supporter, I’m super excited that these sold out! Congrats!
I’m a bit skint right now, so I’m happy to see you sold out, for several reasons. 🙂
Hi i was wondering something why didn’t all the guys appear in the video “stand by me” with ben e king?
I don’t remember. It was probably a logistical issue to get us all together in the same place.

Just a thread from FB that shows you have lots of fans that care! <3
I got my copy today! So happy I got it in time for the Raleigh Supercon. I’ve never been to a convention before so I don’t know if one day is better to go than others. Will you be there Sunday? Thanks!
