Quite the odd read AHWOSG was. Odd, yet enjoyable.
I recently bought the paperback version of it despite
already owning the hardback one. It was interesting to
read the corrections that Dave Eggers would have made
in the first edition if given the opportunity.
The collectible covers swayed my decision too. I'm a
sucker for marketing ploys.
