Shamless Plugging for the Holidays
Dec. 12th, 2008 08:06 amLooking for something unique for a loved one? Want to support local artists? Interested in cultivating a love of story and creative entertainment?
Have I got a deal for you! Why not purchase a copy of You Don't Know Jack, the first in what promises to be a long line of published works by the storyteller, writer, and man-about-town known as Hobbes?
This impressive volume features six classic stories about Jack the adventurer as he lies to the King, cures the Doctor, hunts in the forest, confuses the giants, robs the rich, and busts the ghosts. Illustrated by Montreal-based artist-extraordinaire Ash Forestwalker, this limited-run edition will see you through many evenings of hilarity and wonder.
Don't feel like reading? This book also features an audio CD of storytellers Dylan Spevack-Willcock and Hobbes (JD Hickey) telling the stories in their own unique styles. But they don't just read what's in the book word for word; these stories are written to be and told to be heard, so it's like getting two versions of the same tales for the price of one!
You can hear previews of the tracks on the CD by going to CDBaby. For only $10, you can download the tracks only as mp3s, pop them into your iPod, and away you go!
Not only can you enjoy reading the book by candlelight, you can regale in the telling of the tales on your iPod, CD player, or computer. The CD guarantees to take an hour off your journey, shortening the road with the promise of adventure an mischief.
Quantities are limited, really limited! Of the original run of 500 books (back when it was published in 2005), there are less than 100 books left of the first editions.
So what's the damage you say? Not very much really. For only $20, you can own this one-of-a-kind first edition, complete with action from cover to cover, the audio CD, and a customized signature from the author. It's the perfect gift for nieces or nephew, aunts or uncles, and anyone else who can appreciate a good story.
Shipping could potentially be free, but you need to contact me so when can work that out.
Happy Holidays and thank you for supporting your local artists.
