The Book of Counted Sorrows:
Ever wondered where that book of poetry is that Dean always quotes from in his novels? All of the quotes from the Book of Counted Sorrows are Dean's own poetry. Until a few months ago, it didn't even exist! Dean said in an interview that he receives thousands of letters a year asking what this book is, and that many librarians had been frustrated searching for the nonexistent book.

Now, finally, the long awaited "Book of Counted Sorrows" is available! It is only available for download at BarnesandNoble.com . Click on the image to the left for more information, and read the first chapter introduction by Dean himself!
