The book is being published by BreadPig, an adorable company set up by reddit founder Alexis Ohanian. It will be initially available in the xkcd store (and possibly later in some bookstores). Throughout the process, I added various marginal notes and doodles. I also reconstructed a lot of the old comics from scans (many high-res versions of early comics were missing, and others were lost in my 2007 laptop theft). The project took a little longer than expected because I went back and redid the comic selection and page layout myself. The book contains strips chosen by me from the first 600 xkcd comics, including many of my favorites plus some which were acted out by fans or otherwise had a weird real-world effect. Xkcd: volume 0 will be released in the xkcd store next week, and I’m going to some events in New York and California next weekend to celebrate the release and also help out some nonprofits.
