I'll be saving up more lemons for this one too.

And he has another book due out through Tangerine Press this year too.

I'm not going to have any lemons left.

Sounds like an interesting concept and should make for a fun read. I am looking forward to its release.

Cover will be wider on the paperback version to give the black writing a bit more room. This is the first run with black....

 

[bospress.net]

Here is the hardcover.

Paperbacks ship in the next couple days. Will need maybe 2 weeks I get the signed sheets/art back from Canada and then they will go out. Bill

Drawing as we speak. Or type. I'm not really speaking while I type. Not literally, at least. Figuratively, sure.

Buy the book!

 

[Purple Stickpin]

Buy the book!

I already did, ya shill.

 

[mjp]

Buy another one, tightwad.

The drawings for the deluxe edition were sputtering with me, but there is less sputtering right now...

Here's proof. I think. Fuzzy on purpose. I'm mysterious like that.

 

[hoochmonkey9]

For those waiting on a deluxe edition of this one, please know the delay is all on my end, not Bill's.

I could list the reasons, but they would sound like excuses. But I will say the lack of a dedicated studio space in my house is an issue that will be remedied in the near future (I"m looking at you, mudroom).

Anyway, enough moaning. The drawings should be done today. I just did six this a.m. and have 5 left to do.

A little background on the drawings: from their jacket photos I drew authors that I can only read in translation, then I "obscured" those drawings. Hopefully, some of the drawings will be too big for the books and will have to be cut down, obscuring them even more. This all, of course, is keeping with the theme of the book. I'm taking someone else's photo of the author and "retranslating" it, until the meaning of the original work is not immediately recognizable, showing the tricky nature of translation.

Maybe I'm overthinking this and should've drawn unicorns and rainbows. heh

My Little Pony, bitches.

 

[hoochmonkey9]

Last drawing done.

Sadly, no My Little Pony bonus drawings, despite last minute requests from the publisher. Maybe next book.

I get very few visitors but the postman.
Today he brought something from Bottle of Smoke Press.
Thanks, Stephen and Bill! Nice evening in perspective.

 

[PhillyDave]

Ah, more stuff from bospress to buy. The Hines looks great.

 

[bospress.net]

I should have the art and signed sheets in hand on Monday. These books will ship out as soon as I am able to bind them. Probably by Friday. They will also ship with the extras, as mentioned in another thread, which is:

"All orders placed from now until the end of the year ship with extra gifts.
The more that you spend, the more extras I'll send. The best stuff goes first.
While supplies last. www.bospress.net/order.html"

Best,
Bill

I'm not hip enough. I don't know what your talkin about.

 

[Hosh]

Finally got to crack the spine on this one, and it's a mighty intriguing and curious read. I think it's especially interesting considering the fact that, as these technologies improve (and I think they're set to improve drastically over the next decade) this will be not just a cautionary tale of the limitations of cheapjack translation, but a kind of time capsule snapshot of where the technology was in 2015. I'd suspect it is already interesting to the linguists of the world, but may well become a kind of retro Rosetta Stone of translation code. In any event, it's another publishing curio from BoSP -- which I dig! An non-traditional book and idea. Well done, fellas.

Hardcovers and clamshells are ready to ship (finally)

I've been looking forward to this clam/poem/experiment for a while. Camus is probably my favorite writer along with Buk, hint, hint. :aerb:
