Allie Brosh Announces New Book

Book

Allie Brosh, best know for the phenomenal Hyperbole and a Half, has announced her second book:

I told you this because I thought it might lend some credibility to the actual announcement, which is that I wrote a second book. For real this time. The book is finished. It has 518 pages. There is no going back at this point. There’s a super official book page and everything. 

As is tradition, a variety of ordering experiences are available.

This was an instant pre-order for me.

I think I need to add that song, “Dealer,” where I’m just screaming my head off. People don’t know what it sounds like when I yell. And I do yell.
