Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots: The Original Story will be published by Third Man Books, the publishing imprint of Jack White‘s Third Man Records. It is available to preorder now; if you place your order before Nov. 6, Coyne will sign and personalize your copy.
Orders received after Nov. 6 will still be signed, but not personalized.
