The God Save The Fan (Paperback Edition) Now Available
I have a few issues with this new publication:
- There is blatant false advertising on the front cover of this book. Mr. Leitch is no longer blackballed by ESPN; see the Deadspin reference smack dab in the middle of the most recent Simmons chatstravaganza.
- The softcover publication of this volume means that the hardcover is probably now readily available for about five bucks in remainder/bargain bins in fine bookshops around the country. There’s a recession on, you do the math.
- 27% new more material? With his new heavy load of print and freelance work, I sincerely hope Mr. Leitch hasn’t dipped into the stash of performance-enhancing supplements from Gawker Media, ca. 2006.
- Leitch says there are no plans for a book tour. Once again, he avoids the coveted Cleveland market.
In all seriousness, congratulations Will, I hope it sells well. Any truth to the rumor that Drew was seen hiding copies behind his book?
