I don\u2019t know how this could be possible, but according to the calendar, it\u2019s been a year since my book first came out, a whole entire year that went by in what I could swear was only 45 minutes. And today, though I do sort of want that year back, I\u2019m happy to report that the paperback edition<\/a> has just been released. It\u2019s leaner, it\u2019s meaner: it\u2019s the same book, but cheaper! I dare you to say that three times fast.<\/p>\n Over the past year, or 45 minutes, however you look at it, many of you have written to me to say that you\u2019ve read the book, or that you\u2019ve cooked or baked from it, and I cannot thank you enough for that. I\u2019ve read and reread and re-reread your letters. I keep every one. Writing a book is a strange and sometimes lonely process, so to come out on the other side and find that there are people reading it, real people who write excellent letters and like banana bread as much as I do, is a tremendous feeling. This book is ours now, not just mine. I like that very much.<\/p>\n I had the good luck to get to do a book tour last spring, to come meet some of you in your cities, and I feel even luckier to get to do it again this spring. I have another recipe to share here before I head out, but I wanted to go ahead and give you the list of dates and cities and whatnot. (I wish it could be longer, but it\u2019s not really up to me.) I said this same thing a year ago, and I want to say it again: please come out and say hello, and let me shake your hand and thank you in person. I\u2019ll be looking for you.<\/p>\n Seattle, WA<\/span> Corte Madera, CA<\/span> Los Angeles, CA<\/span> Tulsa, OK<\/span> Brookline, MA<\/span> New York, NY<\/span> Orcas Island, WA<\/span> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I don\u2019t know how this could be possible, but according to the calendar, it\u2019s been a year since my book first came out, a whole entire year that went by in what I could swear was only 45 minutes.
