Amelia Earhart – This Broad Ocean is available in bookstores today, and will be in comics shops on Wednesday. I’m not actually sure what the status of the book is as far as the “big box” stores go, but Borders for whatever reason has not carried my stuff in-store in the past, whereas Barnes & Noble has, but I’ll update when I find out the skinny. In the meantime, here are a couple of recent starred (!) reviews to note:
The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
Kirkus Reviews – I can’t actually link to the review since it’s behind a pay wall, but here’s the obvious pull quote: ” Coupled with the rich prose, Towle’s detailed art truly makes this stellar book a visual feast. Like Earhart herself, this book ought to soar exuberantly into the hearts of its readers.”
…And a big thanks to Tom over at ComicsReporter.com for a great shout-out in this week’s “New and Notable Releases” section!

Ah! I was at the store and didn’t see it (but then again our store is terrible for getting in non-comic-only publisher books anywhere near release… they didn’t have “Smile” either).
Can’t wait to give it a read! Congrats!

@Chris – There’s also the “Diamond factor” as well: just because it’s got an in-store date from them doesn’t necessarily mean that’s when it will actually arrive at your shop’s door. If you can’t find one handy, I’ll get one to you at SPX or whatever…
