After some long months of waiting, our publisher, Quirk Books, sent us an advance copy of our next book in our Signer series, Signing Their Rights Away: The Fame & Misfortune of the Men Who Signed the U.S. Constitution.

The book tells brief, personal stories about the 39 men who signed this historic and durable document. The book cover unfolds into a copy of the doc itself, complete with all the signatures of the men. It will only be available in hardcover and ebook formats. No paperbacks for a while. Nice for gift-giving, blah blah blah, $19.95.

So you want a copy, you say? Well, so do we, but this precious display copy will have to do until the book debuts post Labor Day, September 6, 2011. 

A few websites — and you know who they are — are already offering pre-order options. If you think you want us to autograph  your copy, contact our local bookstore and order one now.

What the heck. It’s America, dammit, and Article VII.I of the U.S. Constitution guarantees your right to buy a book 2 months before it’s out.

Yes, I am trying to post here more often. Thank you for noticing. If you want to sign up for my newsletter and claim your collection of free ebooks, go here. Thanks!
