Just picked up a copy at B&N. I love it – I’ll probably end up picking up another copy for friends who have never heard about DI.
Bought. Read. Love it. Thanks AB and staff. What a great book for all. Subscribed to DI too.
Alien Hand Syndrome? Sounds like a follow-up book.
Why didn’t you simply call it “Damn Interesting”? A much more catchy title.
Great … wold love to buy it. Is there anyway I can order the book online ? The only other place I can think of going to is the CrossWord store.
Do you have something against the four sites listed in the article?
Hmmm…was just checking out the book online at Amazon.com.
The Amber Tide (page 6 – last paragraph in left hand column)
‘The monstrous vessel finally ruptured, loosing more than a million pounds of beer.’
It it supposed to be losing, or letting loose? Or am I mistaken?
I love the website and I am sure I would also love the book, but find mistakes and (myself for seeing them) irritating…
No that loosing works fine. It’s yet another way to say basically when the vessel blew open it let loose all that beer. Dictionary.com can back that up I’m certain.
I picked this up back around the day it hit the shelves at Borders and I took my time going through it and the write-ups are amazing. You get much of what this site had already, but more, and then even some added color boxes with bullet points and related stories. It really is a must grab if you’re just into damn interesting stuff you don’t hear about in the regular places.
Wordsmith? Amazon?
Oh wow, what a fabulous surprise! I’d forgotten about the book and it just appeared on my doorstep! (Actually, my window, as my postman prefers it). It’s HUGE! Its layout and formatting is lovely and it’s just as I was hoping, if not more. After flicking through and reading a few of my favourites (RIP Tree of Tenere) I opened to the front cover and giggled like a schoolgirl, as Alan had, as promised, signed it :-D
YAY!
Agreed!! I came home yesterday to the book in the mail and couldn’t be happier about it. It appears I have some reading to do now!
I’m still waiting on mine to arrive. I do live in europe so it’ll take it’s time i suppose.
Haven’t been here in a while and i wanted to comment on how beautiful the website looks. Bravo.
Yeah! I just received my copy today. It’s so wonderful! I can’t wait to read it…
I just got the book bought for me by my Wife for my birthday, and it is excellent!
Thanks Guys

Love the site and I’m more than happy to sponsor you by buying the book and advertising it on my website. I’ll buy the next one you release too. I’ve enjoyed reading it so far and am looking forward to reading the rest of it over the next few weeks.
Excellent book, thank you for producing it.
Agh! I pre-ordered via donations way back when the book was first announced and I still haven’t gotten my copy yet.
Damned media mail…
How about some international translations? I know a quite a few people in Switzerland and Germany that would be intersted in the book. I’d offer to translate, but I’m too lazy for 320 pages. Maybe translations from multiple readers could help.
Saw it in a local bookstore today. Needless to say I snatched it up!
Just got the book in the mail, with all the messages on the inside cover signed by those involved. Nice touch, thankyou! The book looks fantastic, I can’t wait to have a read now :)
