MMP for TDD

Use your decoder rings for the subject line! It means that there will be a mass-market paperback edition of Tall, Dark & Dead coming to a store near you in April of 2012 (or via Amazon.com pre-order today!)

If you're still scratching your head and asking, "Grandma, what's a mass-market paperback?" Well, honey, back in the late Jurassic, when your nana was young, MMPs were pocket-sized books you used to see on newstands. Most of nana's favorite books were mass-market paperbacks. In fact, nana is *so* old, we used to just call them "paperbacks," because there really weren't a heck of a lot of trade paperbacks to confuse them with.

Well, guess what? They still make 'em, and I'm super-psyched to be getting one!! And I hope they sell like HOTCAKES... no, child, I have no idea what a hotcake is or why they sell so well...

Congrats! Re-issues are always exciting. I'm glad TDD is doing so well.

And, heck, I remember when you used to get two pb books in one, with the "second" book being upside down and on the back of the other. Done with the first book? Just flip the novel over and and start reading #2! (Of course, I think those double books went for the outrageous sum of something like $1.50. Who could afford craziness like that?)
