Facts:
-The French version of the one red paperclip book is called: Un Trombone Rouge
-It is a very nice book
-This guy published it.
-He's a great guy.
-The book will be released in Quebec on Friday Aug 17.
-You can bid on a special autographed copy of Un Trombone Rouge here.
-This is the video I just made for the auction.
-All the money raised for the auction will go to L'hopital Ste Justine, Montreal's children's hospital.
-Which is really awesome.
-I spoke French in the video.
-Most people in Quebec speak French.
-This guy also speaks Hanglish.
-If you're the highest bidder for the auction, I'll guarantee to meet you in person on Monday Aug 20 and we can "trade".
-Unless you provide a private jet, then the trade-in-person guarantee only applies to the Greater Montreal Area.
-Quebec is more than twice as big as Texas.
-But most of that is probably tundra.
-Nobody knows.
-There is an "official" book release party Monday Aug 20 at 5pm at a bar called Bily Kun in Montreal.
-Bily Kun is located at 354 Mont-Royal est.
-I mispronounced Bily Kun in the video.
-Dom thought that was pretty funny.
-Here is a helpful map.
-If you can make it, you're more than invited to join the fun.
-I ate All Bran cereal for breakfast today.
-It was delicious.

*Here's the + MORE:
-The book was released in Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa last week.

Je découvre aujourd'hui votre histoire (mieux vaut tard que jamais) que je découvre drôle et enthousiasmante. J'ai hâte de lire le livre ! Salutations de France.
ReplyDeleteI am so totally bummed that I missed this book party in Montreal. Because even though I am in Connecticut, I was in Montreal on Aug. 20 on vacation. Of course I didn't know about you or your book until this past Saturday, when I bought a copy at my local indie bookstore. And I bought it only because of the cover. I've never done that before, and even though I'm a published author and should know that people buy books for the cover, I've never done that. But this was so kick-ass, I barely looked at what the book was about and bought it anyway. For the cover. And I finished the book last night and loved it, the whole idea behind it. I can't believe I never heard of oneredpaperclip before this.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, congrats on the book, the house, the whole thing. A great, fun read and inspiring in many ways.
