Historical Tweets Book Coming in 2010

Hear ye, hear ye…

For over a year, we’ve said that books have been ruining history, but today we’re happy to announce that we’re the exception to that rule.

We just signed a deal with Villard (part of the Random House Publishing Group), the publisher behind every great book in history.

Come April 2010, you’ll be able to find Historical Tweets at your local bookseller… so, you should probably start the line now.  We’re not kidding.  It’s going to be big.  Really big.  Bigger than Harry Potter and Twilight combined.

Thank you for your support, your pos-mens, and your retweeting.  You’ve made us very happy historians.

Finally, a big historical salute to our agent Kate McKean at Howard Morhaim for representing us.  You’re a champ.

Mitt Safety

On the Eiffel Tower they frown on the wearing of oven mitts. Especially if you wave your oven mitt to the tourists below.
