5. I got it! Started reading it last night. I don't have a fancy "F" on my ribbon, though.
It just has "FIRST EDITION" in all caps in something that looks copperplate, perhaps, but not quite.

10. the fancy F thing is a joke
and ties in with the WANING! on the back.

I wasn't sure about that either, but it seems that everyone has plain Fs.

9. I got it Wednesday
Edited on Sun Oct-14-07 06:09 PM by MysticalChicken
and finished it on Thursday. I couldn't tear myself away from it. Absolutely hilarious.

I also have a plain-font F on my ribbon. I think the reference to the regular F being from a Chinese counterfeit is a joke and ties in with the "Waning!" on the back. (Notice: it says "Colber's" instead of "Colbert's" and they mistype the title of the book as I AM AMERICA AND SO ARE YOU.)

I need to get the audiobook.
