Last week I took two big (costly) risks.

The first?

Publishing my first ever hardcover release in "pocket-size" form. Below is a size comparison.

These days, I'm often packin' 3 books on me (4 on extreme occasions) and the standard larger book size was becoming difficult to haul everywhere. The tears in my pockets prove it.

Size comparison: "Gates of Okinawa" paperback to hardcover

Second, I figured it was time to experiment with putting out a hardcover edition. This one turned out great!

*Gates of Okinawa: A+ Edition* is a premium collector's item. The definitive story experience!

### I only had 10 printed, and only 8 are for sale.

So if you want to get your hands on something of mine that says: "I supported him before he got big!" then **hit the button below** (the only way to get one is directly from me).
