    I've been picking it up and reading sections in every spare moment. It's the type of book where you can digest it a bit at a time. I've seen some oddball stuff on PS, but some of these really take the cake.

    I think the layout is very effective, with no large amounts of wasted white space, like many collector books. That being said, it's not over-crowded either. As I said earlier, it's not over designed. Collector books like this are often too complicated for their own good. I'm really impressed with the overall presentation here. And I'm not just saying this because it's Brian's book, either.

    Got mine Monday as well and was impressed with the short glance I was able to give it before running out to the airport to send my family back to their respective corners of the country. I will be immersed for a couple days with this, but it will be taking up prominent coffee table space when appropriate for sure.

    I GOT IT!!! It looks awesome. I don't have time to read it, as I have to run out, but my first impression is a very positive one. I would never guess this book comes from a first time author OR publisher. It's very professional looking, but not OVER designed, like some collector books. Very accessible. Congrats B!!!

    Arrrggh! Now the delivery date is the 5th. I know it's worth the wait, I just don't wanna wait (exactly my Christmas experience as a child).

    Thank you Shannon, I had no idea if the opening order got there. To be honest, I had it overnighted, which cost more than the sale itself, I just wanted to get it there.

    Ahaa! That is slightly comforting to know, but it doesn't completely erase my productivity inferiority complex!!!

    I was over half done and had gone back to college to get my certification before I announced the book. It's all an illllluuuusiion...

    The best way to order would be through the book's website www.racktoysbook.com

    I'll be adding special offers through there when the book draws closers, such as free exclusive post cards and bundling deals. I have another publication coming out at the same time and it'll be offered at a great price.

    Found the "LIKE" button, thanks.

    I like it, I like it!

    And I too would like to know the preferred way to order.

    ^There is a like button at the top just like in Facebook. You have to be signed in.

    Brian, would you like us to order from Amazon or would it be better to order from your site, etc?

    Okay...I'm dense. How do you "like" something on Amazon? I liked it on Facebook, but I don't see anything for Amazon.
