Veganomicon Has Arrived!
FedEx may hate veganism but UPS loves it! This post will be written entirely in explanation points! Well, words and sentences! That all end in explanation points! Ok, no forget it, that’s even annoying me. I wish I knew how to make an interrobang.
Unsupportive, disinterested kittiesÂ
I waited home all day yesterday but no ‘nomicon came my way. Terry received hers and talked me through it for about half an hour, describing everything in minute detail. “It feels silky. It smells like paper.” But today, I sat on my stoop and taped a note to the door (as if the UPS guy wouldn’t see me sitting there) and called UPS 74 times. By sheer grit and determination I am now holding her in my loving arms. Or my loving lap, because I’m typing.
It’s so…big! And I’m scared of getting it dirty. It actually has kind of a high school yearbook feel to it, which is nice since I only have a GED. Well, here’s some pictures, see for yourself.
Our baby…it has Terry’s eyesÂ

“Our baby — it has Terry’s eye.” Yes, I can definitely see the resemblance. Can’t wait to get my own copy, which I have preordered from Amazon. Also, thanks for your blog — it is highly amusing and keeps me from going insane at work.

Now i’m afraid of getting it dirty, too. Have I ever shown you my copy of VWaV?
October 4th, 2007 at 3:35 pm
My first hardback cookbook. Can’t wait!

Do explanation points help clarify the meaning of each sentence?
October 4th, 2007 at 3:37 pm
I had the same thought with the white cover. It is doomed to get stained. But that will show much use and love, no? That’s my excuse for VWAV.
October 4th, 2007 at 3:44 pm
I already feel like I should cover mine with clear Contact paper when it comes. Both my VWAV and VCTOTW are getting trashed.

like this‽ or this ‽
Congratulations! It looks great from here.

what’s with the jumper for joy on the bottom of the spine? he looks WAY too happy to be vegan.

Did your cat model for the Diane Beers cover?

Terry’s eyes, yes, but… oddly… your tattoos.

It looks soooo good! Congratulations! And thank God for the wisdom of your forum. Someone could tell me where to order it so that I would get the US version shipped to Germany in October. My first vegan hardcover.

Very exciting! Where do I get it?
October 5th, 2007 at 9:55 am
Oh how exciting!! It looks awesome. You two must be so proud!
October 5th, 2007 at 11:16 pm
sweet awesome!
October 6th, 2007 at 1:24 pm
oh my god, it’s beautiful. I am totally coveting this book.
October 6th, 2007 at 9:07 pm
I’m torn…as long as Amazon.com keeps selling foie gras, I’m reluctant to order anything from them. (I wasn’t aware of it until recently, although I know they sell all sorts of groceries.)
October 6th, 2007 at 11:20 pm
Barnes & Noble has it for sale online (I too don’t want to use Amazon)
Amazingly Barnes & Noble, the physical store, and Borders both don’t have it in (Or some local vegan already beat me to it)
I was on the prowl for it today, only to return home empty handed.

You can preorder at Powell’s, too.
Innochka - it isn’t actually out yet, that’s why they don’t have it!
October 7th, 2007 at 2:19 pm
I plan to warp, splatter, and wear out my preordered copy (just as lovingly as I have my VWaV) as soon as it arrives!
October 8th, 2007 at 11:43 am
Yeah! Congratulations–It looks like a Vegan Text Book–which it totally should be–next stop, we take over the high schools!
October 8th, 2007 at 12:28 pm
Borders will be stocking the book, it just hasn’t arrived in the stores yet. We (I work for Borders) took a big buy on the book, and expect good things for it.

Thanks for mentioning the interrobang. It’s my favorite punctuation mark.
