I was on a stroll one day, and I thought, “You know what would be a great business move? Writing a book that’s not for sale and can’t be ordered.” But more than that, I wanted to write and draw a book to spark a bit of surprise and curiosity out in the world. A book that’s meant to be found outside, experienced outside, and left outside for someone else.” THIS BOOK LIVES OUTSIDE (& IS YOURS FOR A WHILE) was born, printed, and scattered.

Want a copy? Sure, just go to www.thisboo—HEY. NICE TRY. Again—and I’m sure I’m quite sorry—you can’t buy or order this book. Okay… how about a few spreads?

If you’re here because you found a copy, welcome! Holler at me and let me know where and when you found it & left it so I can log it on this map. And pics would be SO VERY APPRECIATED!

Special thanks to the Alfresco Distribution Network!
