Hey everybody!
I hope y'all are doing as well as possible under the circumstances. At this point you all should have received your books and whatnot. It was a long, exhausting, exceedingly expensive process but it should be over or at least overish.
If you have not gotten your book it's either because I do not have your address and somehow do not know I do not have your address or I sent you your books and they got returned or lost in the mail.
So please do email me at [email protected] if you haven't gotten your order yet and I will rectify the situation as soon as possible. Thanks again for everything. You made this book a reality. I hope I made y'all proud.
Nathan

Hey you guys,
I am overjoyed to report that after several days of hiccups and annoying delays, the 500 page, extended version of the Weird Accordion to Al is officially available for purchase at Amazon and my website.
Unfortunately, it takes them some time to print up hundreds of books and they don't start the process until your book is officially in the system, so it looks like my big boxes of books will not be coming to my house until the middle of the month. Then I will begin the lengthy, exhausting, expensive and very rewarding process of sending out books.
I'm so excited! I think y'all are going to love the book.
It will DEFINITELY be worth the wait.
Thanks again for all the support, if you have a questions do not hesitate to email me, and I'll do my best to get back to you in a prompt fashion.

This is tremendously exciting but I sent "Weird Al" Yankovic the bonus material for the Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity edition of the Weird Accordion to Al book with over 130 new pages on THE COMPLEAT AL, UHF, THE WEIRD AL SHOW, the fifth season of COMEDY BANG! BANG! and the 2018 tour that gives the expanded version its name for fact-checking and copy-editing and he got it back to me less than twenty-fours later.
He's very fast! And very good!
Even more excitingly, Al really seems to love it. He said it was wonderful, which is just about the best possible form of validation.
What y'all think of the extended version of the book is extraordinarily important to me but Al digging both versions of the book means my work is 2/3rds done. That he's read every word of both versions of the book and signed off on them hopefully gives my magnum opus a certain level of authority.
Felipe Sobreiro has turned in his 29 amazing new illustrations for the extended version so now all that's left is for the designer to put everything together and enter it into Amazon's system so we can start printing up books to sell.
It's all very exciting! I have over 400 books to send out thanks to a very successful Kickstarter pre-order campaign and I'm sending them all out myself so I have a whole lot of shipping in my very near future.
I'm hoping to meet my July 27th publication date but things are going so swimmingly I might just beat it.
Huzzah! If you have pre-ordered through Kickstarter or Backerkit, thank you so much for your support and patience! It will 100 percent be worth the wait.
I'd kind of love to take the month of August off just to promote the book and do a victory lap after 3 and a half years of hard work and research but that's not really an option.
Feel free, however, to email me at [email protected] if you'd like to talk to me about the book for your podcast or website or term paper or whatever. I am, as you might, imagine, VERY eager to talk about "Weird Al" Yankovic and my 500 page new/old book.
