Be the first kid on your block to read The Adderall Diaries, by Stephen Elliott

Steve Elliott is a pretty famous guy. Most know him as the best man at Geoff and Padma's wedding. Others know him as a hard-luck poker player. And a few know him as the author of terrific books like Happy Baby, A Life Without Consequences, and My Girlfriend Comes to the City and Beats Me Up. However you know him, you should know that he has a new book coming out in the fall, called The Adderall Diaries: A Memoir of Moods, Masochism, and Murder, written almost entirely under the influence. And he's willing to mail YOU an advance copy.

Of course, there's a catch. Read the details here.
