Well the My Fellow Americans book launch was a roaring success. The Cross Kings played host to four great bands, two great DJs, and a veritable hive of celebrations and political discussion. There were people in Obama t-shirts, fellow US elections bloggers, Brits who’d volunteered in the primaries earlier in the year, and a smattering of Americans who had voted themselves – either in absentia by postal vote or at a caucus.

We sold a ridiculous number of (deep breath) signed, individually-numbered, limited edition first print-run copies of the book, and the ongoing success of our project is attributable, I think, to two main factors:

1) British people don’t fully understand how the American primary system works, or why it’s so insane

2) British people are fascinated by the American primary system, because it’s so insane

The glitz, glamour, controversy and grand-standing rhetoric are, shall we say, somewhat lacking from our own political lives. So if you’d like a taste of My Fellow Americans, our gloriously-designed book of first-hand reportage and live sketches - the very best bits of our 9000-mile trip around the primaries - for the first time you can now BUY IT ONLINE.

For those of you without PayPal accounts, send us an email via press@myfellowamericans2008.com and we will send you details on how to pay by cheque.

If you are based in London, there are copies available to buy in Orbital Comics on Charing Cross Road. Further retailers will be stocking My Fellow Americans soon and we’ll post an extensive list of them on the blog over the coming weeks.
