Oh, yes, I'll be lining up bright 'n' early to purchase the long-awaited Condibook which "drops," as the kids say (annoyingly), next Tuesday. Actually, that's totally a lie, because it sounds so utterly boring and covers all the stories she's brought up over and over already for years. Snore. But anyway, it has a different cover than the one I showed you earlier this year, which is a relief, because that was really a bad design. They changed the photo for one with a slightly older Condibot, and made it duotone green rather than sepia, a tacit admission that Condi was not born in the 19th Century. Gone is the dumb "distressed" edge, but the pointless curlicue, which I earlier described as "graphic designer's dandruff," remains. All the type has been shuffled around, and her name, surprisingly, has been pushed to the bottom. It's still not a great cover, but it's a lot better.
My prediction: the reviews will be charitable but lukewarm, and it will sell shitloads of copies, about 20% of which will be read all the way through.

I'll just wait for the Cliffs Notes version.
Wise man.
If she does a book signing in DC, YOU HAVE TO GO.
Only if she signs body parts.
You have to take someone along to get a photo of Condo signing your....er...body part.
I have a hunch pretty much nobody will want to read this book.
Unless she writes a book called, "I was wrong and I am an idiot," I doubt anyone gives a damn about her self aggrandizing.
P.S. I agree you should go to any book signing she does in the DC area, but instead of having her sign your ass or whatever, just have her dedicate the book to Princess Sparkle Pony. You know damn well she's heard of you, and the look on her face would be worth more than feeling her Sharpie on your ass.
