The store manager told me he'd had half a dozen copies, and they all sold out, so he's ordered more. He said the holiday special really helped him sell the book. So I have to wait a few more weeks for Wahoolazuma, but it was actually really great to hear that the book is selling so well.

While I have the original issues, I'm so happy to be able to support the return of Beanworld by purchasing this hardcover and the upcoming one. I'm very much looking forward to the new material - I was one of those people who would intermittently Google "new Beanworld?" for the past 15 years hoping to hear news of your return. When I found out more was coming, I couldn't stop smiling for an hour.
