Finally — 36 years after I broke into the newspaper racket at age 12 with monthly reports on a club my brother belonged to (the Laclede County, Missouri Beekeepers’ Association) and 20 years after I started writing about politics “on the Internet” — a book!

KN@PPSTER’s Big Freakin’ Book of Stuff is a collection of essays, articles, rants and ruminations covering the period from 1995 to 2014. It runs about 400 pages. It’s free in PDF format (right-click/save as here to get your copy) or pretty darn cheap in EPUB, MOBI or dead tree formats ($1.99 for e-formats, $13.99 for print) at FastPencil (click here to order).

Note: I don’t want to rip anyone off, so I should probably say that virtually everything in the book (excepting introductory material and notes and such) is available on the Internet already … but you’d have to look pretty hard for some of it. But then again, vis a vis ripping people off, why not download the free version and then decide whether or not you want to pay for a custom format? Enjoy!
