To the stores then! And to order a copy direct, e-mail Zakifkififim@gmail.com. In NY, it will be hand delivered.

I'm doing a very unsophisticated thing, distributing it to bookstores personally for the first few months, before I have someone else make it all production liney. Events in NY and other places will be posted here as soon as they are booked.

If you have a bookstore or other venue for bookselling to reccomend, let me know;
and if you want to host a learning in your community, e-mail away, because i'm in the city for another little bit. We'll be doing a thing at the Yippie Cafe in New York, and the Moishe House in Philadelphia, in October.

As always
