Well done and congratulations Loco. I love the cover
JA!! Thanks Yo!1 Yeah, it’s something ain’t it? I hope you enjoy the book as well! Please let me know your thoughts once you’ve read it! I have a feeling you’re gonna thoroughly dig it.
Congratulations Loco! I been waiting for a minute! I’ma go download this right now! I’ll be waiting for my paperback as well so I can advertise to my buddies!
Hey Loco, I look forward to the print version, I’m not into the kindle thing yet.
Anyway, good to see the fruits of your labour, right? Congratulations.
Any estimate of when it will be ready? I hope you can have it for sale on amazon.co.jp
Sorry, it wont be on Amazon JP )-; But I will probably do a sighning in this area and sell them personally (-; If you’re not in the Tokyo/Yokohama area, I’ll ship it to you…and for being such a great supporter I’ll probably throw in something nice! Thanks Mamotaro!!
Yeah, I’m not in Kanto, so it would be great if you could send me a copy. Thanks mate!
Any reason why it won’t be on the .jp site? I would assume that’s where you can sell the most copies.
Beats me…speak to them Amazons! LOl
おめでとうー！（＾Ｏ＾☆♪
Planning to be one of the first reviewers on this side of the pond! o(≧▽≦)o
Cool! Looking forward to that!!
Loco,
Well done! Congratulations!

Hey man, congratulations – let me know if there is any way I can help you out – if you’d like to do a video blog on the book, I can set something up either via Skype, or as of Feb 1, I’ll be in Yokohama for work so maybe in person?
First though, I’m gonna get me a copy to read
Peace
Thank You Sir!!
Oh Man! That sounds great!
I’ll catch you offline!
Somehow I’ll get myself a copy sometime. Congrats! I look forward to reading it. I don’t have Kindle, mostly because I’m a print book lover
I’ll have to consider Kindle in the future, though. I’ve got publishing plans, too! But not for a couple years.
I think I’ll write a post on my blog about this
Thanks Yo! You know you can download a Kindle reader from Amazon for FREE right? You don’t actually need to buy a Kindl;e device. Those are just for the people that love to carry arpound libraries i their pockets…wait I like that idea. Gonna get me one of those things lol But you don’t need one to read my book on your PC or Smartphone. It’s a free app.
Looking forward to your post!
Whoops! I knew it was free. I don’t know why I was thinking otherwise. Post has been posted! And tweeted and all my friends know about it on Facebook, too.
Really cool! Congrats!
I hope it will be available on Amazon Japan as well? (the paper version)
Thank you zoom!! Unfortunately it won’t. But I’ll get my hands on some copies and sell them myself here (-; (…he said optimistically, and why shouldn’t he e optimistic?) lol
Linked here after seeing the hilarious ad on loneleeplanet.com That book cover is great and eye catching. I’ll definitely order a copy and check it out.
Congratulations on doing something many of us aspire to do.
Thanks Fidel!!
Wow, just saw this…
Congrats on bringing this to its fruition! Hoping to get a paper copy for reading while traveling
Congrats Bro. It’s good to see works that reps up out there. I’m waiting for the print version. Also, if I can’t travel to Yokohama, can you sign it for me and mail it (I’ll pay of course)
Cheers
Thanks C!! See what I can do (=;
Congratulations! It’s great to see you coming so far from your origins as a humble blogger
.
Thanks yo! And thanks for re-tweeting the review! Very cool!
Hi
I’m totally new to the site and found your book completely accidentally through the wonders of Twitter.
I only read a sample of your book so far, but I’m about to download the whole thing. It’s so weird? funny? nice? to see my own thoughts written on paper, proving that I’m at least not alone in how I view my time spent in Japan.
Thank you for writing your book and getting it published!
Thanks Miki!! Where did you read the excerpt? Just curious…Thanks for the support! I have a feeling this is going to be one 1o1, and please leave a review on amazon if you have a chance!! Much obliged!
//Thanks Miki!! Where did you read the excerpt? Just curious…//
From Amazon.
Almost all or all Kindle books have the option to send a sample of the book to your Kindle or other reading device so you can read a little bit before deciding whether you want it or not. It’s a really nice feature, in my opinion.
Ah, I forgot about that. i thought maybe you had gone to http://www.himynameisloco.com
I posted some excerpts there.
Loco-sama! Congrats and wishing you all the best. Here is my small contribution to the marketing plan: http://www.loneleeplanet.com/2012/01/all-eyez-on-loco/
PS I bought the e-book (it is first e-book that I have ever owned) and eagerly await the paperback. Bring it…
Reesan!! Thank you so much! It looks great and all those choice links!! Just great, man! Small? Don’t be ridiculous. This is huge!
Hi Loco,
Congrats! I love that cover…that alone has got me thinking about the contents! My friend runs http://www.loneleeplanet.com (I usually make poor choices in friends lol) and I stumbled across the review while checking out his posts. I am a bit of a traveller and am now living in Peru, and being Australian, which has a bit of a bad rep for being racists, i’m always interested in seeing different cultures and the interaction of foreigners so I look forward to buying a copy! It sounds interesting!
I am really excited for your book. I became an avid of your blog late last year and been following some of the classroom drama and the character development of your students. Good job on the publication and I can’t wait for my copy from Amazon.
Hi Loco.
I just reviewed your book on Amazon but I wanted to say here how amazing it was. It made me think about my life here in Japan and my own views of the world. I laughed and cried. Keep writing more wonderful things!
The cover of this book speaks so much as to what it is like to live in Japan. I look forward to picking up a copy.
Yeah, I told the artist what I wanted and he did an expert job. Couldn’t be happier with the results
Hey there Loco,
Congrats on the book or how we say it in my country felicidades cabrón! A few years back I found your blog and I was blown away by the quality of your writing. Above anything else it was your style smart true and just you loco, that got me wanting to read more and more. Did told you then you got the talent I just wanted you to know that I’ve kept my promise as your reader and got my copy a few days back, keep them coming!
Thanks Jorge. Much obliged my man do mea favor and drop a review on amazon and tell everyone you know to check it out. This book is strictly grassroots and LOCO NEEDS YOU!! Thanks again bruh and I’ll try to get to more once I’ve got this one up and going.
I think I just spent over 2 hours trying to get the Kindle version on my iPad. Yours is the first book I wanted to get for Kindle so I can start saving trees, but I think saving the planet may not happen. The download keeps failing, do you by chance have plans to release it through iTunes? Thanks in advance, I hope to enjoy your book very soon. From the teaser I read, it looks to be a good one.
