Custom-order autographed copies: If you want something special signed in your book, order it from Borderlands Books in San Francisco. They will take your order, and I swing by the store to sign it for you (author's note: I reserve the right to be a jackass, photo-copy my butt, and put that in your hoity-toity custom-signed copy. What do you think of that, Mister (or Missus) Fancy Pants?).

When my husband saw the contents of the box from Amazon he asked when was the next time he'd see me. During the reading of "Infected", I think I forgot I was married - spent every spare second devouring this book. Of course staying up half the night helped me finish it in less than 2 days! Same thing with "Contagious" - you just can't put the damn book down! You just have to know what happens next and it never ends... there's always a "what happens next"! Sigler is the master of horror!

Am now a pusher.

On January 7th, 2009 (08:50 GMT) Crinkle says:

When I first read "Infected", less then a year ago my family was on vaction to cape cod mass. One day we decided to go to the library and pick up a couple books or movies. I was looking at the new releases shelf when I saw a plain black spine with "Infected" in large orange letters. This piqued my curiosity. So when I picked up the book and read the inside cover descriding an incurable desease, I decided to get it. I finished it in four days. Every day up 'till 1A.M. Now more than 6 months later, I still have the book. All my family has read except my mother. Even my 7th grade language teacher has read it. All the same copy too. Like I said, I'm now a pusher(and junkie) of your delightful little "product".

Cover messed up??

On January 2nd, 2009 (10:42 GMT) Liana (not verified) says:

The cover of the book I received is totally messed up. The edge was left untrimmed and folded back so you can't see the last "-ous" in the title. (You can see the printer guides where the cover should have been cut to properly fit.) I considered getting a new one from Amazon, but I figure that this might be a collector's item worth something someday if the book is as good as I think it will be. :) Did anyone else get a copy like this?

Get a new one

On January 2nd, 2009 (17:09 GMT) scottsigler says:

I don't think this is like the US Mint messing up a coin, it's just a bad printing. You can keep it if you like, but I'd say get a new one. Please take pics and send them to me, scott@scottsigler.net. I need to let Crown know that Amazon is shipping bad product.

Not I.....

On January 2nd, 2009 (11:16 GMT) MuchAdo (MC) says:

but then again I STILL haven't gotten mine from Amazon. Note to self - in the future don't order from Amazon! I would still contact Amazon and see if they will let you keep that one but also send you a new one!

I went to buy it at Borders today in Downtown Cincinnati and they didn't have it! I was very upset. I did order it on-line though so it will still count as having been bought today. Ok, whining is done!

The least I could do for my FDO!

Just picked up my copy

On December 30th, 2008 (11:22 GMT) mike.langhorst says:

Just got my copy. Called Borders yesterday and found out they had 5 copies, so I went by 30min after opening to get my copy. Looks like someone else here in Folsom likes it as there were only 4 on the shelf. I'll be buying another at Borderlands at the Jan 10th signing too.

Scott, I have listened to your podcasts since the beginning. I have a 1 hour drive to and from work in Florida each day and your great stories make the drive time fly by.

After listening to the 1st 4 chapters of CONTAGIOUS, I was hooked. I purchased the audio book download through ITUNES today, Dec 30. I paid more than amazon, but I had to get it. I beleive this is your best book ever.

I am a your Junkie. Thanks for all your effort general.

How hard can it be?

On December 29th, 2008 (15:17 GMT) Twowire says:

I've got my Amazon copy and Borderland copies on the way. BUT, I tried calling Murder By the Book to place a pre-order for 3 Copies and MBB tells me the cant sell them before the release date. I asked if they would take a pre-order as the release date is 12/30. I was told "Oh no, the release date is 2-3wks from now". I said "Oh no, that the book signing is then and the release date is tomorrow. Then I heard someone in the background say I don't think we can sell them before the date of the signing? They took my information and asked me to call back tomorrow.... I also called Boarders Books & Music in Dallas and They wouldnt take a pre-order either. They took my info and said someone will call me tomorrow and if they dont to just give them a call back. Geez, is this normal for bookstores not to do pre-orders? Sorry didnt know which thread to post in so I posted in two of em.

Aaaarggh I have finally bought managed to buy your novel contagious, will have to wait 3 weeks before I can start to read it as It is coming from the good old U S of A.

Want to say a big thank you for all your novels, which have kept me sane or is it insane since earthcore no sure. I am more than happy to support your efforts to take over the world. Going to order the rookie though as I can download that sucker real fast too.

Might order the audio CD as well but need to find a better supplier than amazon as amazon in France does not have your novels Arrrrgghh I neeeeed my fix Cheers

Sorry I pre-ordered Contagious today the 29th on Amazon ;-) Not to late though. I had to buy it I also got infected. No I am not infected........ really I'm not. I mean I got the book "Infected". Lets get Scott up the charts.

Preordered today

On December 28th, 2008 (01:59 GMT) freelancegeek says:

Merciful FDO, please do not send me to the fire pits for I have let my family duties delay my preordering of CONTAGIOUS. I have braved the land of the midnight oil to ensure that my preorder could be accomplished.

It is now done, my FDO. I pray your forgiveness.

Dutifully awaiting your next command.... (perhaps a tire-iron flogging?)

CA.

This sucks ass

On December 25th, 2008 (10:26 GMT) mobiusjava says:

So I'm going to the stank (taint?) tour in Houston and MBB won't let you sign nuthin' that t'weren't bought there. Therefore, I can't in good conscious purchase the new shizzle until you invade my hometown. What up wid dat, FDO?

I will look into this

On December 27th, 2008 (14:56 GMT) scottsigler says:

In my opinion, this is unacceptable. I would consider them not allowing CONTAGIOUS to be brought in, but as for INFECTED, EARTHCORE and ANCESTOR, that's unacceptable.

Thanks FDO

On December 27th, 2008 (15:27 GMT) MuchAdo (MC) says:

Last year they wouldn't let me bring in Earthcore or Ancestor!

MBB

On December 25th, 2008 (12:45 GMT) MuchAdo (MC) says:

What you say is true. MBB does require that you purchase the new book from them if you wish to have it signed by sigler. Indeed if you wish to have one of his older books signed you still have to purchase the new one from MBB. Remember that MBB is an independent bookseller who has to make money to run their store. I would much rather buy from them than from Amazon - they already make too much. You can check with David but my guess is that they report to the NY Times Bestseller list. However, if you are dead set against buying from MBB there are ways around this. Send me a private message.

Does the audiobook count toward NYT totals?

On December 23rd, 2008 (10:16 GMT) AlphaGirl says:

Also, is there a non-CD, downloadable version available on Dec. 30th? If so, does that count toward NYT totals?

Don't think so

On December 24th, 2008 (19:36 GMT) scottsigler says:

Unfortunately, I don't think they do. Not entirely sure and will check with Crown on that.

Amazon.co.uk - no, Amazon.com - yes!

On December 23rd, 2008 (02:58 GMT) Brimmers says:

The only "Contagious" pre-order that Amazon.co.uk could offer me was the paperback in September 2009 - now how is that going to help Pope Siglericus XXX on the NY Times Best Seller list (and yes - I know it was a tad optimistic to assume that a site ending in .co.uk would actually contribute to a US best sellers list but in this ever shrinking world and all that...). So, I've cancelled that order (which was going to cost me £6.64) and placed an order with Amazon.com instead (at about £16.51). Sigler - I must love you soooo much!

Stellar!

Preordered from Amazon today

On December 19th, 2008 (17:29 GMT) MillenniumKnight says:

Okay Scott, I bought 10 copies of Infected from a brick and mortar and we didn't quite make it to the best seller list. This time I have pre-ordered 5 copies of Contagious from Amazon and will be picking up 5 more in person on 12/30, so you better get it together this time. I NEED you to be able to write full time. You've got too much demented stuff going on there, so you need to be able to get it all on paper.

We have preordered

On December 19th, 2008 (00:18 GMT) Shadygirl says:

We have 4 copies coming from Boarderlands and 4 copies coming from Amazon. A bunch of our friends are getting their Christmas presents a little late this year, but they will think it is more than worth the wait!

Chapters.Indigo.ca will ship a copy of Infected to the store closest to you for free, and then you can go pick it up.

I purchased a trade paperback edition at Coles (part of the Chapters group) here in Toronto.

I do not purchase hardcover books as a rule... so hurry up with the trade paperback version of Contagious!

Even though that is money I probably should have spent on my kids for XMas. I hope you're happy. I'm not even going to read the damn thing because I'll wait for Podcasts first and then read it after. It wouldn't be the same without those lovely voices.

It builds character ...

On December 10th, 2008 (08:44 GMT) scottsigler says:

That's what my parents told me when I got a bag of gravel for Christmas. They said I didn't need presents, that it would "build character." Little did they know I would steal a pair of my father's suspenders and my mom's measuring cups to create the "Kitty Killer AX-2" gravel-slinging catapult. Build character, Mom?

the major bookstore chain in my town doesn't have Infected for sale at all! they don't carry it. And it costs waaaaay to much here...like $50 Cdn for the hard-cover because they've gotta ship it from the US.! and apparently you can't get the paperback until after christmas here. :( [no i don't have a credit card otherwise i'd order it online] :(
