For those interested, Amazon has added the book to its site, but it's not for sale yet. You can ask to be notified when it's available.

THE BOOK IS NOW ON SALE! It's eligible for free shipping: Buy $25 worth of eligible items, and everything ships free.

I'm very proud of it. I hope my fans like it as much as they liked 51 Ways to Ruin a Baseball Game.

Have an Amazon Prime membership, and it ships 2-day for free all by itself.

Carl,

Please don't respond to this post with "what took you so long?!?," but I finally broke down and bought the BRD today on Amazon. I cannot wait to receive it.

(P.S. My wife, after briefly reading what that book is about on Amazon.com, is now absolutely convinced that I am beyond hope. LOL)

Same here. If someone wants to buy a $15 gift card and send it to me, I'll gladly ship it to your address. You'll get it in two days -- for free!

I had a bit of a head cold today, so I walked away from the computer and read the book (which arrived yesterday). Great read. I knew it would be, though.

Just finished the book yesterday. Very entertaining. I don't agree with some of Carl's game management or mechanics, but the book was still a great read.

Does anyone have a contact email for Carl? He never responded to the one in BRD.

He'll reply. He probably got swamped w/ emails around BRD release time.
