Behind the Scenes
Can somebody please either write or name their book “Teal this book” so that the cover could be this?
If I went to a bookstore and saw this book, I would buy it without even reading the blurbs. Seriously, this is an open call for any writers to do this. If your manuscript gets accepted, you may use the book cover idea — I don’t even need credits or royalties, I just want this book to exist. Thanks for your attention.
Context, if you’re confused.

i don’t know what ‘ham ball’ is. I’m asian-canadian and not completely acclimated to american culture.
i just googled “ham ball” and got to some recipes in cooks.com.
a “ham ball” doesn’t seem so bad, but i’m assuming your comment was an insult because of your ‘three hour commute.’
there is a holocaust happening in your beard.

not necessarily an insult.
but then again i can’t stop the way you internalize external forces.
dance to the tune in your head.

Chip Kidd tag. Heh.

what the fuck’s the holocaust?
i’ve had this idea for a few months involving a small book filled with nothing but blurbs for said book (involving, to varying degrees, its hypothetical contents)…ostensibly an “experiment in meta-fiction”/minor homage to ‘trout fishing in america’/opportunity for collaboration of “up-and-coming writers”
…but mostly just an excuse to screw around.
‘teal this book’ should be that book.

This is a beautiful idea. I mean, like mad fucking genius. It must be done. There is no other way.
reply
chip kidd is genius. i think he would write Teal This Book
reply
haha jereme as miyagi is the funniest thing ive thought about in a long time, thanks jimmy
reply
also, jimmy, a better idea might be to have the book in the bookstore be white or offwhite… maybe eggshell and then have the title say ‘teal this book’ and have a teel marker attached to it
