HarperVia just sent me the promo sticker and badge they're giving out at indie bookstores and B&N when you buy Strange Buildings and seriously, I'm really touched. I always look on the promo stuff with wistful greed, but this is the first time I've got any. Thank you! Go read strange books! #Uketsu
