new pynchon
Just at Borders --cause I go there every day, not like I was birthday gift shipping or anything--- and saw that the new Pynchon is out, Against the Day. 30% off the hardcover.
This is a Nashua: tommy is so straightedge, he doesn't use Amazon.com

corporate whore! down with Borders! Down With Amazon! Down with Barnes and Noble!
In all seriousness, though, wouldn't it benefit Buzz more if all of us (aka his friends, minions, idolaters, stalkers) pre-ordered it through some huge Amazon type thing so they see a (small) demand for it? Maybe the publishing people at 33 1/3 look at the book order #'s - they'd probbaly give more weight to something like an amazon.
I love ma and pop bookshops and use them frequently, but I'm thinking of how to best benefit buzz here.

You're all very sweet.
I appreciate the pre-order thing. This summer I'm going to try and do as much of my tour at mom-and-pops as possible, if that helps alleviate guilt.

Life is too short to be too guilty over where I buy my media...

I like that I have minions.

I'm not above ordering from Amazon.com when necessary (how do you think I get my Degrassi DVDs?) But, I do prefer the local bookstores. I'm thinking here of how to benefit Tommy the most.
Listen, this is no set of rules!
Another Nashua: here is what I think the proposed vinyl sticker should look like:
