So, Mr James-

Is this rolling?

*sigh*

Yes...

And action!

So Mr James, is it true that you wrote a book?

Oh, that thing?

*egotistical scoff*

Yes, the rumours are true,

One afternoon, I was just thinking to myself:

"Why aren't I a published author yet?"

So, I just jotted down some notes and doodles,

And then I thought:

"You know, people should pay money for this!"

*silence*

So like,

It's just a bunch of pictures?

NO! I added words too!

It's a collection of stories and opinions of mine.

Some of which I've already made into videos,

And some that are complete original new stories.

Like one chapter is all about the Science Fair!

and...

Yeah, it is the same story I used in a YouTube video,

But I also go more in depth with the story...

And I draw new pictures.

YouTubers have a reputation of writing bad books.

Does this concern you?

OH?

BAD

B O O K S

H U H ? !

I'll have you know, that my book was the number 1

BEST selling book in Literature, Criticism and Theory!

Do I know what that means!?!??!?!

NO!

But did I beat 'Tyrant Shakespeare on Politics'?

YES!

Does that mean I'm better than

William Shakespeare himself?

I'll let YOU be the judge when you pick up your copy of the book! (Yey)

Link in the description.

*whispers*: I'll give you a clue the answer is 'yes.'

Are all authors as condescending as you?

Uhhh...

Do you even know what that word MEANS?

James, is there anything special that happens to people who order at Vidcon?

Yeah, the people who pre-order at Vidcon get a signed copy.

What about people who aren't going to Vidcon?

Sssssssssssssssssssucks to be them.

CUT! Come on.

Haha, that was a good joke.

So I actually am selling signed copies

I'll be signing the first one thousand copies to people who pre-ordered the book on my website.

Check the link in the description.

Also speaking of my site,

I revamped the whole and got a bunch of new merchandise.

Check it out if you have some free time.

Christmas is right around the corner guys...

There's also non-signed copies available if you just wanna pre-order regularly,

Or you can wait until August when the book comes out and buy it at

Barnes and Noble or your local book store

And depending on how well these signed copies sell

I'll release more.

We'll see.

If your interested then I'll update every thing on Twitter

So, follow me on Twitter to be updated

Anyway,

Authors sure can be stuck up sometimes.

Like this one time, when this pretty well-established

author was coming to my town.

And was doing a signing.

I say "well established" but I'm sure if I say his name

you guys wouldn't actually know who he is.

Anyway, at his signing he gave an hour-long talk.

And he said that he wasn't going to do a Q and A segment

because he said

He'd been an author for so long that he'd felt already answered every quesion ever.

Okay Mister "Yahoo Answers!"

Sorry your questions bothered you so much!

And then after we listened to him talk,

You got to go up to meet him to get a book signed.

But he was the most stereotypical

"I'm too good for you" celebrity I've ever seen

When you got to his table, he didn't say anything to you,

And if you wanted a picture, he wouldn't even look up at the camera

So my family has this picture of all of us standing and smiling next to this guy just...

looking down reading a book.

So, I will follow in that author's footsteps

and only take pictures with fans while signing my book

and looking like

this.

Contrast to that when I met

Steven Pastus.

Pastas?

*confused sounds*

Should've looked up how to spe-

Say it*

He's the creator of a comic strip called

"Pearls before Swine"

And all you need to know is that his comics are

in the newspaper, and he's really great.

He came to visit Arizona

and I was fifteen at the time,

So I was making stick-figure comics.

and I wanted to impress Steven...

So I got out my ruler and protractor

and I very carefully drew this comic.

How was your run?

Well let's just say...

Justin is all

P O O P E D

out!

*terrorising and overlapping laughter*

What happened?

I don't wanna talk about it.

Get it? He pooped his pants.

This isn't based on anything on real life, ok? I was fifteen

shut up.

I went to his book signing,

he was really awesome.

I showed him my comic.

He laughed.

And he told me to keep going.

And now, I'm a YouTuber

*boos*

I mean it wasn't just what he said that got me into doing comics and YouTube.

I wanted to do that way before I met him.

Anyway, he was nice.

Ironically enough, I was never a fan of reading.

And I think a big part of it was that teachers

forced you to read books you didn't wanna read.

So if this book becomes the next Romeo and Juliet or

Grapes of Wrath...

Teachers make their students write book reports on this book

Then I'll make it easy for all of you.

In the description of this video,

I will create an already completed book report for this book

Now I know what some of you are thinking

James, won't the teachers know if all the book reports are the same? *high pitched*

Yes they will, which is why I added some blank spaces for you to put in your own words.

It's sorta like a mad lib that you turn in for homework

and this book report doesn't even have to be on my book, you can use it for any book!

So if you have a book report due tomorrow, (It's summer...)

then check the link in the description.

Trust me, you'll get...

At least an 80 percent.

You know the people who already pre-ordered this book are pretty ballsy

They don't even know what this book's about.

For all they know, it could of just been a single picture

of me laughing with all the money they gave me

But its not that.

I promise.

That's just the inside sleeve.

And that's the end of the video everyone, I'll see you at Vidcon!
