I have parked in the South lot on the southwest side of Lucas Oil Stadium for tonight’s OSU-IU game. I have a limited supply of paperback “Buckeye Brotherhood” books. Enough people expressed interest, so I brought some. I will be on S. Missouri St. for a little while if you’re interested.

Julian Sayin has become a top Heisman contender, but those who know him best say he hasn't changed at all with new fame. Good stuff from his family and Ryan Day. Hope you enjoy. bit.ly/4pY6AGN
On the cusp of the Heisman, Julian Sayin remains unaffected by fame
On the field, much has changed for Julian Sayin since the start of Ohio State’s season.

Just throwing this out there. Would there be interest if I brought paperback "Buckeye Brotherhood" books to Indy for purchase? I'm not sure how it would work logistically. My parking is in the South Lot near Capital Ave. I could sell and sign them near there before the game. Your thoughts?

My scheduled book signing at the OSU campus Barnes & Noble for tomorrow has been rescheduled for Dec. 18. The store didn't have enough books ordered, and this week has been crazy for me, so it works out best for everyone. I will have a signing at the Dublin B&N next Thursday (Dec. 11).

I'm not really familiar with Bookshop so I can't advise you about that. If you pre-ordered, I imagine you would get it eventually. If you become a paid annual subscriber to my Substack covering OSU football, I will mail you a signed copy from my supply for no additional cost.
I’ve pre-ordered on Bookshop. I’m down in Texas. Do you think it will eventually ship, or do you think I would be better off asking an Ohio family member to grab me a copy?

Great news. After a frustrating delay, Amazon now has paperback versions of "Buckeye Brotherhood" available.
Here's the link: bit.ly/44Ll6t3.
If you're in Ohio and can buy it at a bookstore, I hope you do to support them. But Amazon obviously is convenient, especially for those out of state.
