Follow for Now on the Kindle
For the early adopters out there, Follow for Now is now available on Amazon’s digital reader, The Kindle. Now you can get all forty-three interviews, all the pictures, all the goodness, in Amazon’s digital format.
The interviews in this book are bite-size and in-depth by design, so the portability of The Kindle fits its style. The Kindle now sports sixteen shades of gray for clean, clear text and crisper images, and it’s really small and portable. You can check out sample interviews from the book before you decide, but if you’re super impatient, you can get your interview fix in less than a minute.
Follow for Now started off as a digital creation, so maybe this format is its proper home.
Anyway, if you’ve made the jump from atoms to bits with your books, now you can add Follow for Now to your collection.

Follow for Now at the University of Illinois at Chicago Bookstore

My friend and colleague Mike Schandorf required Follow for Now for his Writing for New Media class this semester at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He snapped this shot of the stack of copies in their bookstore. I’m stoked.
Many thanks, Schandorf. See you soonly.

This raggedy used copy of Follow for Now was spotted at Half-Price Books here in Austin, appropriately placed next to a Marshall McLuhan book.

Follow for Now now available at MonkeyWrench
For my local friends who don’t already have it, my interview anthology, Follow for Now: Interviews with Friends and Heroes (Well-Red Bear, 2007), is now available at Austin’s own MonkeyWrench Books.
I am very stoked to have my work in MonkeyWrench. As their website says, “MonkeyWrench Books is more than just a bookstore. It is a library and educational resource. It is a place for meetings, film screenings, talks, benefits and book readings. It is also a relaxed space to network and make connections over a cup of organic coffee or tea.” They’re located at 110 E. North Loop here in Austin, Texas.

Droplifted in Alabama

Today, I droplifted a copy of Follow for Now at the Books-A-Million in Dothan, Alabama. It’s right in the middle of the top shelf of the “Social Science” section. If you’re in Dothan, and you’d like to confuse a few retail workers with your purchase, go by and pick it up.
