How can I get a copy of this book?

The best way is to an e-book version directly from this site’s store. If you’re interested in a softbound version you can email me, but note that shipping to outside of the EU will be expensive.

Is the paperback book exactly same as the e-book?

Almost but not quite. The Volcano, The Tornado, & The Hourglass was written & made to be a physical thing. That a section of the text is printed upside down & requires that the paper book be flipped over to be read informs the reading of the text itself. There’s also a two-page spread of a painting and a drawing that is designed to be seen as a spread— two images seen together in one glance— not one after the other, as occurs with the e-book format. The very formatting of the text— in terms both of typefaces & typesetting— was also something almost integral to the work itself, but unfortunately was unable to be converted into the electronic version. Lastly, there’s a drawing of a piece of tape in the margin of the Open Letter to the United Parcel Service that alas had to be omitted from the e-book.
