You can't get rich from one book! Wait until I get a couple more under my belt, and I might be able to buy you a drink next time I'm in LA! :wink:

BTW, the book is being recommended by both of our free weeklies, The SF Weekly and the San Francisco Bay Guardian (which incorporates The East Bay Express), in their Holiday Season Gift Guides next week.

My book is also featured in a full-page Chronicle Books ad running in December issue + Holiday Gift Guide of Animation Magazine. On stands 11/2 - 12/4. The usual 40k circ increased to include 5k Academy & Visual Effects members, as animators promote their titles in the months leading up to Academy Awards voting. Also, the issue had premium placement in Barnes & Noble.
