In The Event Of My Untimely Demise - Paperback Release

The paperback version of In the Event of My Untimely Demise also has a new cover design. The book is no longer red like a fire engine. It looks like a lockbox. And they got rid of the subtitle "Twenty Things My Son Needs To Know" ironically, citing the same exact argument the author made for not having a subtitle in the first place: The information in the book is for more than a son - it's universal.
