• Can I buy a copy of the book at a book signing?

  Yes, all my books will be available for purchase at all the signings.

• What items will be available for purchase at a book signing?

  My new book for sure, and some of the stores will have the calendar as well. If you want me to sign prints, shirts, mugs, etc you'll have to buy them from the Oatmeal shop and bring them with you.

• Can I bring other merchandise to a book signing?

  Yes, I'll sign anything. However, some bookstores require a book purchase for a signature, some require a book purchase for a ticket to the event, some require no purchase at all. It varies from bookstore to bookstore. Contact the venue directly with any questions.

• How come your tour doesn't stop in my city? :(

  My publisher chooses cities based on the availability of a time slot that works with the rest of the tour. If I don't come to your city it doesn't mean I hate you, it just means we probably couldn't find a bookstore that worked with our schedule.

• Where can I buy it?

  Most major bookstores should carry it on or after October 1st, 2013. If not go get it online.

• How big is it?

  168 pages, 7”x9” (18cm x 23cm). and it weighs about as much as a large pile of bear feces.
  The included poster is 18" x 24" (45cm x 61cm).

• Paperback or Hardcover?

  Paperback.

• Why should I buy a book full of stuff that's available online for free?

  Two reasons:
  1. There's a ton of new material in the book that isn't available online and it never will be, so if you buy the book you get access to a bunch of new comics.
  
  2. I'm able to provide free comics online BECAUSE of people who support me and buy my books.

• What’s the ISBN? I think ISBNs are neat.

  ISBN: 9781449427702

• Where does George Washington keeps his armies?
