A very good question ,indeed!

While I am not certain who will be the first ,I am absolutely positive that this subsimmer will be one of the last to own a copy. :p

Notice to subsimmers: Please form an orderly line at Jane's door, no shoving spitting or cursing. Copies of the book will be sold on a first-come first-serve basis until supplies run out.

... Good grief, what a price. This little kaleun won't be getting it anytime soon

Anyone want to buy my place in line? Going for a good price.

I think thestrategy to use is to wait until a year after it has been published and try and pickup a remaindered copy.
