I bought The Book. (scroll down, to "New book buying incentive.")

At the Barnes and Noble down the block, as it turned out.^[1] They had three copies, plus one of Regrettable Food and one of Mommy Knows Worst. Could have ordered on the web, but I suspect that the chains still put more stock in their brick-and-mortar sales numbers than their e-commerce ones. I fancy my in-store purchases as my way of doing my bit to encourage wider availabilty of the authors I like.

And it was everything I expected (it's Lileks, after all).

I still need my own copy of Interior Desecrations (gave one, which I found shelved in the "Art/Architecture" section, as a gift last year).

^[1] Don't give me any static about "why not your independent bookseller." Don't have one. My other choice is Border's. Hey, at least it wasn't Costco.
