It’s April Fools, but this is no joke. Today, I am as proud as I have ever been. The Knot is for sale. In the post below, I’m going to lay out your various options for order.
First, if you need some background on how The Knot came to be written, watch this.
Dedication
I’m going to spare you the ginormous infomercial thing and just give you a look at the dedication page. You may roll your eyes. You may laugh. You may do any number of things, but I don’t care–what I say is heartfelt and sincere. You are all part of my life.
For Janette: I love you more than I can say
For Max: Love is not an adequate word
For my family: You held me up when I couldn’t hold on
For Adam T. Glass: You are my strange, strange brother
For the Readers of World’s Strongest Librarian: You are even stranger than Adam.
Here are your buying options:
Option 1: You just can’t wait and you have a Kindle.
Option 2: Buy a print copy from Amazon
A paperback copy of The Knot is on sale from Amazon for $20.95. I’m not at all embarrassed by that price. The Knot took three years to write and it’s got a whole lotta pages and I love it.
Buy from Amazon. (this link will also take you to a synopsis of the book)
I am this book
This book means everything to me. It is pure me, and if you are a regular reader, that will be a good thing for you. The Knot is easily the most personal thing I am able to share with you. It was the only light-hearted thing in my life during the blackest years of my existence.
And it easily the most creative thing I’ve ever done, and that’s saying something. Opening the package and seeing this book for the first time–well, I was as happy as I’ve ever been. When you read it, you will know that I had a hell of a good time writing it.
All my love and respect. Thanks for the support, yesterday, today, and always.
Josh

As long as it’s on the top:)
One signed copy for me
It can go straight to the top of my reading list and bypass the other 10 or so books I’ve still yet to read!
Received and responded, Wraggy. You’re the best.
Josh, big congrats on the new book. I’m so excited for you. The cheapskate in my says go for the pdf version, but damn it, I’m gonna splurge for the signed hard copy.
Received, Todd, thanks.
Congrats! Give me a week or two to make a little money from the book I just published (shameless promotion: http://www.hartzdesign.com/helpless), and I’ll be picking up a signed copy. Awesome!
Michelle, I’m on my way to check out that book now.

Thank you Josh. I appreciate it.
I will expect you to sign the books I ordered with glorious inscriptions when you get here – for free. Congratulations Josh. We’re very proud of you. Mom
Thanks Mom.
Whoohoo!!!! It seems like I’ve typed that a lot this week. You have had so many victories in the last days, I bet you’re just beaming. Congratulations!!!!
I’m beaming as much as a pale, pasty lunatic can.
‘ey, yo, you just made $15 from yers truly! :p
‘ey, yo. Thank you:)
Wilkommen! Plan on breakin’ bad and startin’ in on it tonight. Thanks for Seth’s book, too, “Linchipin”. . . .that un thar’s a real life-changer, bubby! Good stuffs! Danke schön!
Can’t wait to read it Josh…expect another request for a signed copy shortly
Received. a zillion thanks, good sir.
Awesome. Awesome. Awesome!
Three awesomes. That’s the gold standard. I have arrived.
Congratulations, I can understand how much effort went into writing it. You put 3 years into this project and it’s finally out. It’s extremely difficult to keep a blog going and also writing a book on the side, all the writing can really get hectic at times, no?
Robby, hectic is the understatement of the universe. If it wasn’t so fun, there’s no way it would be worth it:)
Congratulations Josh This is way cool. I can’t wait until my novel is ready to be published. I am going to wait for the audio version though….I like books on tape (or mp3). you are awesome!
I am really trying to decide if you are climbing mountains, pushing them around, or tearing them down and scattering them to the wind. I suspect the latter.
Strength and Honor man.
-Justin
I’m trying to hustle on the audio. Much appreciated, buddy.
I’m holding out for the audio version. That’s the way I read most of my books these days. If it’s on audio, it’s guaranteed to get read. Sounds awesome, good luck with it!
It’s going to be fun, Carlos, I promise.
I would hope the audio book is narrated by yourself Josh, real man narrate their own books and not pay fancy voice actors!
Also it would provide a fantastic challenge to set PRs in how many pages you can narrate without a tic
Although at this rate it you’ll do the whole book without any problems!
Ordered!
DR, thank you very, very much.
Congratulations Josh, I am thrrrrrrrrrilled for you! But… will I be able to unravel this knot?! I guess there’s only one way to find out…
Oh, well played!
Congratulations! What an achievement. Now you should grab your kettlebells and get on tour!
One question: Do you ever sleep??
congrats!
An email will be winging its way to you tomorrow morning with a request for a signed copy!
Thanks Gordon. I’ll be waitin’
Congratulations Josh! I just downloaded the Kindle version and will move this to the “read next” position!
Awesome. Glad to hear it went smoothly. I don’t know much about Kindle yet.
Congratulations Josh, this is so great and I’m so happy to be able to share in the joy you must be experiencing at “releasing” this Knot.
SUUWEEETT!
Man this is your week for milestones. I’m almost finished with my current read and looking forward to getting my signed copy. Congrats Josh!
Awesome Andy, thank you so much.
Hello Josh,
I’m very proud of you getting your book done! You didn’t send the link the first time you sent a message. I will tweet this notice now! Congratulations!
the first time it WAS Kenny.
I don’t read novels too often but I’ll read yours. Any chance I get a signed copy when I see you in a couple weeks?
Absolutely, Logan. And I’ll be sending you responses tomorrow to your email. Crazy day!
I am so excited for you. Will be patiently waiting {biting my nails, pacing the halls, and stalking the mail lady} for my signed copy.
Anne, did you email me about it yet? Just trying to make sure nobody gets lost!
If I order it from Amazon, I’d love to put a signed bookplate in my copy. Is that an option?
Just because I’m impatient when it comes to reading material….
Daisy, absolutely, but you’d need to send it to me with the bookplate after you received it from Amazon.
Congratulations, Josh! This is turning out to be quite a year for you, isn’t it? Can’t wait to read your book.
I hope you’ll get some down time to spend celebrating with your family:)
Debbie Ferm
Thanks Debbie. Things are pretty hectic, but I’m not complaining.
Amazing! Just read the synopsis and so keen to read–I’ll be going for Option #4, so will be in contact. Congratulations on a phenomenal achievement!
What an awesome achievement Josh. I’ll be ordering my copy shortly!
This is brilliant. I bet you can’t wait to see it on the shelf at your library. Congratulations big guy:)
Is that seriously the cover, though? Because if it is I think you should really have thought about it a bit more. O.o
Ew.
Shadie, that is seriously the cover. I can live with it:)
Josh,
I’m sorry I haven’t been by in a while. I’m very excited for you and I’m ordering a signed copy. I’ll make you a deal too. If you come take the DADvocate project take the survey and agree to be interviewed as part of the project I’ll give you the first 15 minutes of the interview to talk about your book and it will give you visibility to a growing group of daddy bloggers. The best part is I’m not even asking for a free copy. : ) I’d also like to share my daughter’s book with you too. “I Am Not Weird” it’s about cerebral palsy.
done.
Congrats Josh!!! Pretty cool. I can’t wait to get to reading it!
