The book is stocked in many chain bookstores, and can be ordered by ANY bookstore. Just ask 'em!

Is your book available in-store anywhere in Missouri? My fiance and I have been looking for it for a long time, but no one seems to have it in stock. And between the mysterious virus lurking on my computer and the cost of shipping and handling, I always prefer to purchase things in person. I get to venture out of the house that way, too! So exciting!

I've already ordered the book and I'm really excited to read it!

Sales stump from a reader: if you love reading all the descriptions of OBB posts, imagine that as full-fleged advice and personal narrative with tons of stories from real brides thrown in the mix. Trust me: you're missing something special if you love the site and haven't read the book. I read the original over the course of three days and found myself searching for snippets from other brides and the clever little sidebars over and over again since! Consider it a pretty small investment in having 24-hour access to a best friend who is always there to tell you "Take a deep breath–you're not alone!"

Yep. Gotta love Amazon's screwy algorithms!

I wish. Sadly, that's something my publisher controls … I loathe that blurb, but it's out of my hands.

I wonder if you could get them to change the blurb on Amazon? The write-up for the new book has the "taffeta free" line in it. AND you can buy the old book bundled with the new one! Haha! I love the book, btw.

I love the new cover! I clicked on the Amazon link and it's suggesting you buy it together with "Offbeat Bride: Taffeta-Free Alternatives for Independent Brides" … that's a little misleading of them.

As I mention in my post, the only differences are a new intro, new budget chapter, new cover, and new subtitle.

I just finished the first edition, and I completely adored it. Has very much changed between the two?
