So my first book, CHARLIE JOE JACKSON’S GUIDE TO NOT READING, comes out in paperback today. This is a very good thing. Paperback books are cool because they’re almost not books. They’re almost magazines, which are way better than books. Some of the thinner ones almost feel like comic books, which are way WAY better than actual books. Read more…
This is the moment you’ve all been waiting for. Even if you don’t realize it.
The paperback of CHARLIE JOE JACKSON’S GUIDE TO NOT READING is in the house!
That’s right… all the humor, beauty and pathos of this not-quite-classic novel are now available in a lighter, somewhat cheaper form. There’s even an author Q & A in the back of the book, which is full of slightly interesting and mostly made-up facts.
The official publication date is May 7th. To celebrate, I’m delighted to announce the first and possibly only “Charlie Joe Jackson Paperback Giveaway.” I will be giving away four signed copies in a Grand Drawing on Sunday, May 13.
Here’s how it works. To be eligible, all you have to do is confirm you don’t already own the book, by responding to this post and answering the following question:
How many pages does the hardcover have?
If you answer incorrectly, then congratulations, you don’t already own the book! You’re in the Grand Drawing!
Good luck.
