You're Invited! MWK Party NYC May 3rd
The official publication date for "The Man with the Knives" is just one week away! To celebrate & launch the book, Temporary Culture is throwing a small party. As publisher/designer/chief cook/bottlewasher Henry Wessells says:
Come one, come all!
Monday 3 May
5:00 to 7:00 pm
James Cummins Bookseller
699 Madison Avenue, 7th floor (betwen 62nd & 63rd)
NYC
RSVP: Henry at JamesCumminsBookseller d.o.t. com
There will be brand-new books there for sale: both the $15 paperbound version, and the $$$$ handbound-cloth-with-marbled-paper, signed by both me & artist Thomas Canty. Canty's original art for the book will also be on display. (You don't have to buy a book to come - but you know you want one....)
Only 420 copies are being printed, and when they're gone, they're gone. To order (or reserve - if you know you're coming to the party, just ask him to set one aside for you) yours, send a check or note to Henry at the e/address on the webpage here.
You can also click through to proofs of the Title Page and the First Page from there, with examples of Canty's beautiful text decorations (but not his glorious full-page and pull-out pictures, which I guess will be a Surprise!).
I hope to see some of you at the party, where I will gladly & gratefully sign & personalize books of all kinds (as long as I wrote them)! And that goes for just about anywhere - if you get a copy but are not in NYC, I'll be happy to sign it for you next time we meet.
JUST ADDED:
I can sign & personalize pre-ordered (before May 3) copies! Quoth Henry:
All subscribers can expect to have a copy signed by you (you can come early to the party), I will pour you a glass of wine, and you will sign away. If they send e-mail with name clearly spelled, I will print out the e-mails.
I should also point out that every single book from Temporary Culture really does come with a red thumbprint personally inked by the glorious Publisher.
Come one, come all!
