Meet the Very First Pie Winner (from the hardcover edition, February 05)
Mr. Josh Evans of Orlando, Florida

If you've just noticed that both winners are from Orlando and think that is weird, well, I have to agree with you: it is weird. Josh was the 100th person to send in a purple flower moment last February when the hardcover came out. And now, almost exactly a year later, Tina is the 100th person to send in a purple flower moment since the paperback was released.

Lost and Found
The Chicago, Boston and San Francisco installments of the Lost and Found Project are now complete. 150 books were "intentionally left" around each city by a team of 20 friends/Book Hiding Specialists. They left them in places like the freezer at grocery store, shelf at Blockbuster, in the arms of a statue. Quite a few people wrote in to share their (often serendipitous) story of where & when they found the book. Filmmaker Steve Delahoyde documented the hiding of the first batch of Chicago books in this two-minute short film.
