I'm quite confused, it's surprising to hear that the book is only just going on pre-order, since I've had it pre-ordered on Amazon UK for about a month or two now. Am I missing something?
Before we've even had the chance to put up sample pages to show folks, we've had thousands and thousands of pre-orders. Thank you for that! It's exciting to see that cartoonists and artists all over the world are really looking forward to the book. (You're never quite sure, when you write something like this: "Will only my mom read it?")
The good folks over at Comic Book Resources have an interview with all four authors, if you'd like to swing by and check it out.
Equally interesting have been the foreign-language writeups that I've been seeing about the book, via Google searches. I've seen tidbits in French, Portuguese, and Spanish — like this mention from Spain's Público Newspaper site. (My secret hope has been to see this book translated into the French/Belgian "bande dessinée" book market... so any foreign-language writeups get me all excited.)
If you're a librarian, and want to pick up copies for your district, the ISBN-13 number is: 978-1-5824087-0-5.
But librarians, bookstores and Sheldonistas alike can preferably reserve their copy direct from the Sheldon store, in one of four ways:
1.) The normal copy of "How To Make Webcomics"
2.) The Sheldonized Artist Edition of "How To Make Webcomics"
3.) 5-pack: All 4 Sheldon books + "How To Make Webcomics"
4.) 5-pack: All 4 Sheldon books + an Artist Edition of "How To Make Webcomics"
