first book sighting

Speaking of Los Angeles:

“Just got TOWARDS SPECULATIVE REALISM in the mail — excited! Just thought you’d wanna know the book has made its way in properly objective form to Los Angeles…”

Heck yes, I’m glad to know. This is the first confirmed sighting of the book by any purchasing human.

In this case just as with Prince of Networks (which Ian Bogost hand-delivered to me in a Cairo hotel lobby during the first two seconds of our personal acquaintanceship) I’ll probably be about the 200th person to get a copy.
