[@haik4755]

So yall just not gonna say what happened, im clueless guys cmon.

[@syrahgrimm83]

Basically in John's youth he was denied entrance to Canada for "insufficient funds" when on a roadtrip and ever since has ended up on some kind of list that has made it extremely difficult for him to enter Canada.

[@charlottedorey4364]

The Typical Viewer he answered it in a video it's called something like "why I'm not allowed in Canada anymore"

[@AndreaCrisp]

This seems to be a thing, because I know several other people who have this issue. And I must say that crossing the border by car got waaay more difficult and completely unfun once Trump became president. I was going to BC regularly before that and noticed a big difference in the experience. I'm fairly traumatized by my personal negative experience and it was benign by most standards (searched my car and delayed me for a seriously stupid amount of time & reason). Canadian Border Patrol is definitely where they keep the country's few jerks.

I feel like we don't talk about the book Will Grayson, Will Grayson enough. You know that one book John wrote with David Leviathan (I don't know how to spell his last name but I do no how to spell the name of a horrifying demon that the spelling WAS close enough to... I've been watching to much supernatural.) THAT book is great and very gay and it's written beautifully AND WE NEVER TALK ABOUT IT.

[@amandakoenig9422]

right??!!?? I loved that book! When I first read I was going through alot of shit with depression and anxiety and panic attacks and it meant so much to me! the way they wrote one Will's perspective in lower-case only was really fitting, i really liked that

[@tifpo33]

Thank you John for acknowledging that the tour is US only. As an international viewer it is sad that you aren't traveling the world, but at least you acknowledge that we exist unlike so many other US based channels.

[@Swolotheoneandonlyswolo]

I've just started watch my videos of them online and they're so good to watch.

Dear John, (I promise this isn't that type of a dear John letter) As someone who is on there way of overcoming my own turtles all the way down I just wanted to say thank you for using your platform to bring more awareness about mental health.

[@yousuzers565]

Just realized how morbid that sounded

[@gbnas]

I've been watching y'all since maybe 7th grade (2011/2012) and now in 4 days, I'll be in my college dorm room for the first time. I want to thank you both for making me laugh, making me think about life, inspiring me to be myself and be different, and thank you both for just helping shape who I am today.

[@vlogbrothers]

Thank YOU for letting us be part of that journey. Good luck in college, and dftba. -John

[@shaiannwyatt7749]

The cover looks so cool. And good luck with the army of boxes that are invading. Also, John, since apparently I'm one of the first ones here and have an opportunity to say something important-- please stop worrying that the book won't be good or any other worry you have attached to it. At some points in your videos after TFIOS but before Turtles, you would talk about needing to top the success of TFIOS or whatever, and it would always annoy me because for me, TFIOS is good, but out of all your books, An Abundance of Katherines has always been my favorite. It's funny because that's the one everyone always jokes about, but I love that one so much because I connect with it. The fact that you're going to have another book out is a success and thank you so much for always saying important things that need to be said. You're awesome. Thanks for being you. And that was long...

Today at school my friends will ask me at school why I'm so tired. And I'll have to tell them that my sisters cat woke me up at 4:00 am and then I got on Pinterest and fell down a huge fandom hole ( you probably know the type) and then that eventually led to tfios fandoms and other fandoms of books written by john green and then that put me into the mood for watching vlogbfothers spiraling me into somewhat of a binge. so here I am at 6:00 am about to get ready for school wondering what I'm doing with my life but certainly not regretting it.

I don't remember the last time I read a whole book in a day, and I'm pretty sure I haven't finished a book I was reading for pleasure in about 4 years (and that one was Will Grayson, Will Grayson during my senior year of high school.) I've been in college since the fall of 2016 and found it difficult to find the time or the motivation to get through an entire book for fun. That said, I bought Turtles all the Way Down this morning and finished it less than an hour ago and I'm incredibly pleased with how well it depicts mental health issues and thought spirals as a person who struggles with some anxiety issues. Thank you for writing it, John.

[@twinny0625]

Organizing tours are easier in places where the organizer speaks the same language as is spoken in the location. That's the easiest explanation. Others involve thousands of laws within each country that discuss payment or performers , who can perform and when and where they can perform and how all of that relates to the politics between the two countries at the time. Plus the travel is more expensive and the genuine question of if they would make all their money back with all the fees that come with performing in a foreign country. For reasons documented and undocumented there is a "special relationship" between UK and America that makes it much easier for Americans to go to and perform in the UK than anywhere else in Europe. Any creator wants to see their fans no matter where their fans are the problem is that it's intensely difficult to perform outside of one's own country.

[@bootybunkerspelunker]

At least you're not in Canada. Doomed to never have a tour because John tried to cross the border with no monies.

John, I (just finished and) adored Turtles All The Way Down. It was one of the most incredible, eloquent pieces of work I've ever read. So ridiculously proud and over-the-top with glee that I was able to see you release another heart-wrenching masterpiece, especially regarding something so personal and important to you. I learned so much and I loved so much, and regardless of whether or not you see this comment, you and Hank continue to change my life, as well as so many others. And for that, I can only thank you.

[@jarin4847]

are you releasing in paperback?? have the rest in paperback, don't want to ruin the collection :(

[@vlogbrothers]

The paperback will probably come out sometime in 2018. I don't have a ton of say in how that unfolds, but usually paperbacks are published about a year after the hardcover. (Sorry it won't be sooner!) -John

[@jarin4847]

vlogbrothers oh well, might have to get both then 😄 thanks for answering!!

[@rcecile]

So hardback books cost more to make, but they also have a wider profit margin when they sell on the shelves. It is common practice to sell hardback books first and then sell paperbacks when sales slow a bit. This business practice is also very smart for a book like Turtles All the Way Down because John is guaranteed to sell a WHOLE bunch of books before sales slow enough to justify making paperbacks for less profit.

[@JacisObsession]

why is everything always "USA ONLY" this triggers me by now xD

[@Luke-lw9dg]

Because John and Hank are American and they need something to prove it's still the best country in the world after the horrible events of 11-9.

[@speedy01247]

The USA has 320 million people all nestled in one nation which has open borders everywhere within it. sort of makes that easier then even the EU to get around. Cause even the language stays the same within the nation.

[@Bluey306]

i don't live in america and i'm getting sick of these kinds of comments lol let them be; a lot of US publishers do this with their authors, but there's such an overwhelming complaint over john green doing "USA only" sales only because you have the privilege of having the immediacy of communicative platforms (i.e. youtube) you can still get signed copies on other book-selling platforms, there is no need for this short-sighted entitlement.

[@jazzyje5ter223]

Luke Did you mean 9-11

[@Summertail]

I hate reading this kind of comment they are just awful. No part of this was to prove the U.S.A is the best. It's likely cheaper to stay in the continental U.S.A, And like speedy01247 said "The USA has 320 million people all nestled in one nation which has open borders everywhere within it." Also I rarely if ever think about the U.S. as not as good of a country because of something that happened that they could not control. Also like brewcha said "you can still get signed copies on other book-selling platforms, there is no need for this short-sighted entitlement."

[@TheNeiraaa]

That is it! I am finishing the first draft of this novel by midnight. You have inspired me. Thank you
