My own recent little Literary Saloon dialogue, Arno Schmidt: a centennial colloquy is now available in paperback from Amazon, too (US and UK, along with most of the others).
It's also available on Kindle, or, from Lulu, in either ePub or paperback. Availability at other outlets should follow, sooner or later, but paperback-at-Amazon seems the most trusted buying option relied on by many readers, so I mention it -- and note that the Amazon page gives you a decent 'Look inside'-preview opportunity, so you can see what you'd be get yourself into.
You still have time, I should think, to put it on your Christmas wishlist, or purchase it as a gift for your literarily-inclined friends and acquaintances, and those you might want to convert to Schmidt.
I'd suggest it might also serve as a useful planting-the-seed title, an appropriate gift to give someone from whom you might hope for Schmidt's Bottom's Dream in return eventually, when that becomes available -- a much dearer proposition. (Planning ahead, it's perhaps also a useful gift for a spouse or loved one, whom you'll be trying to explain the huge outlay for Bottom's Dream when it appears (it ain't going to be cheap) to, if you're forced/compelled to purchase it yourself; I'm not sure Arno Schmidt: a centennial colloquy can fully justify your folly, but surely it provides some decent arguments in favor of Schmidtian indulgence, even at its most extravagant and costly.)
