A Father's Day gift idea
I wandered into a Barnes & Noble today and was delighted to find American Shaolin at the front of the store on the table for Father's Day Deals (20% off).
It got me to thinking...
Because so many readers have requested signed copies of American Shaolin, I decided to set up a paypal account and figured out shipping costs.
If you are interested for yourself or for The Old Man (June 17), simply email me (matthew@mattpolly.com) and we can work out the details.
The book lists for $26. I can mail anyone in the U.S. a signed and inscribed copy for $24. Canada for $25. And England, well, $26. (Sorry, mates.) Any other countries will require specific calculations.
This will be a one-time limited offer, because my editor is expecting the proposal for my next book yesterday. Since I'm still undecided, all suggestions are welcome.
As the Shaolin monks say, "May the Buddha Bless you."
Best,
Matthew Polly

Your book is amazing and very funny! I have given this to five of my martial artist friends and the passages we've spoken of most are the ones where you reached enlightenment, that melding of mind and movement where you pretty much were a Jedi. Awesome.
