I saw 5 copies in a book store last week in the Netherlands.

Matt, what’s that DVD sitting there between R&H and Zoo TV?

I picked it up in store in Halifax tonight at Chapters. There’s six copies of it in Metro Halifax split between two stores. I made a dent in that by one. I’ll let you know when I see the others move…

I sent you a pic from my Gmail account of me holding a copy in hand at the bookstore…with two other copies on the rack beside me. I was really excited to point it out to my friends, and to find my name in the back. Thanks Matt. So proud of you this evening…

Hi there Matt
Congrats for the book again.
Mine has already been shipped, accordingly to Amazon.co.uk.
I expect to put me hands on it sooner than Friday – well, at least hopefully…

all the best.

I got mine from Amazon.
I like it!
I also like the JT picture you have on you wall, Matt. I’ve got it, too.
In fact, your bookshelf looks a lot like mine, too.

Matt,

Fantastic job on the book. I got mine on Wednesday, which was perfect timing as I’ve been home sick from work, so I read it straight through with only a break for some necessary sleep.

I was at the (in)famous first show in Boston on 12/13/80 (I know, I know, there were only 100 people there but 5,000+ say they were, but I really was!) and have had some ups and downs with the band in my 28+ years (where did the time go?) of fandom, but have overwhelmingly felt extremely lucky to have this band in my life for so long; it’s been a gift. And your book is a gift too. While reading it I was able to relive my life through your writing and details. It brought many a smile to my face to be able to chart most of my adult life through the excellent details and events you documented.

So I wanted to say thanks. Thanks for the memories, thanks for the hard work and thanks for the temperance. I’m so glad you stuck to the facts without adding much of your own views and opinion. Even though I’ve enjoyed your opinions over the years, this book wasn’t the place for that.

Best wishes for success with the book. You should be very proud. Thanks again.

Same exact thing happened to me. So I told them that I’m the author, and would like to be able to send friends and family in to buy it, so they put in an order for 5 copies….

Our B&N doesn’t carry many music boooks to begin with.

I went to my local B&N and they don’t have it in the store but were willing to order it for me. There were no plans to have it in stock. Of course, I might be the only one in town who buys any of their U2 merch.
