I am enjoying the book more the second time. Maybe because it is not off the computer screen. I was going to have my wife read it but she will have to wait till I am done (probably another day or two). I have also got my twelve year old chomping at the bit to read it. He can read one of the others when they arrive.

Thanks again David and every one else that had a hand in this book.

Mine was at the post office today. They took about 8 days from order to arrival.
I never read the PDF, got home from the gym this afternoon, built a fire and sat down to just review it.
About 200 pages later I realized the dog was barking to go out to pee.
I will probably finish this late tonight. Great read.

Got mine, going to let the GIs read them then take them to the base library (Red tail library, H6 housing, Balad Iraq) for our service men and woman or contractors such as myself that are serving over here. Thank you for your service, and thank you to Halffast, Donne, and everyone else that made this possible.

I received a copy a couple of days ago from SF member chrisaka, who was matched with me in the gift exchange. Heck yeah!

That takes care of me, now I'll be ordering a few more copies for folks I'll be gifting them to. And count me as one who wants my copy signed, so hopefully a signing event of some type will be in the works in the not too distant future.

I got mine today. Holy Shit is that a big book! I have an upcoming surgery & have a feeling this book will help me stay off of my feet for a smooth recovery.

I first heard about and read Lights Out as it was being written and posted on Frugal Squirrel.

My published copy was delivered on Monday. I am glad your book is in print, thank you Halffast.

I've gotten 9 so far. I'd take a picture, but most of 'em have been wrapped now or already given away. Glad to finally have this book in print.
