This Is Fifty-three: Just the Words, Man—Published!
The Just the Words, Man edition of This Is Fifty-three is now available!
For now, you can find it at CreateSpace; it should be listed on Amazon within the next few days.

The full-color edition is still in the proofing process; I am expecting the printed proof tomorrow, and hope to have everything wrapped up this week. More news when it becomes available. Stay tuned!
