Awesome News! The Book Is DONE!

 
 
I’m very happy to announce that after working like a maniac for a few days, I’ve managed to get 460 pages and 240,000 words laid up in this compendium of past interviews that I did for BME between 1995 and 2008 (all the interviews except stuff that’s male-genital oriented, since that’s in a different project). Especially since BME has chosen to take this material offline, it makes a wonderful book to own — or gift.

The really good news is that it’s only $19.99 in softcover and you can also get it as a hardcover for $34.99, and if you visit the book page here, you can download the PDF for free as well. Thanks again everyone for helping produce and support this project.

Please pass on that this book is available!!!

    Are you planning on republishing other non-interview articles as well?

    Yeah — a collection of essays is on the list as well, as is a book of transscripts of the voice/video interviews, and then a book of interviews on male genital modification (about 400 pages of new interviews and 50-100 pages of older ones)…

    I also have a handful of unpublished interviews that I’m not exactly sure what I’m going to do with… I sort of want to do a book/magazine, but I’m not committing to that yet.

    Dude, when this book becomes famous I’m going to get rich off that cover shot! I have the “original” printed on your old circa ’96 state-of-the-art 3×5 photo printer.

    I supported BME in the past, before you leave, and man, it was good to read all this material again. I really wanna know what happened with some of the people of the interviews. I really miss BME the way it was with you.

    Reading some of the interviews made me realze how much I miss BME. The shell of it is still online, but it is like a ghost town, noones home. Sad.

One Trackback/Pingback

  1. [...] may not post for a couple days so as to keep the new book on the front [...]

Wow Shannon, that's really annoying! What is it, 1997 on Geocities? Retroweb is NOT cool!
