Ladies and gentlemen... on violin... Arie van de Ven!!

News! Marije mailed me, she got Tim in the mail today!!*
I expect there's a pile of Tims on it's way to Canada, and I am going to send a signed copy to the first person to email me a photo of "het bed van Tim" in a BOOKSTORE. I want to see my book in a bookstore. Other people can get signed copies too of course, but they'll have to pay back the stamps. The book has to earn me some money. In the Tim category you can see the Tim work as it developed. And there are some finished drawings in my portfolio. But the best thing for everyone would be if you would buy the book.

* "Het bed van Tim": A Little Golden Book, written by Marije van de Sande, graphic design Piet Schreuders, illustrations yours truly. Published by Rubinstein publishers, Amsterdam.

ARGH. Is Tim finding his way to Belgian bookstores? Are you rich now and when will you be famous and have your own talkshow?

Yes, yes, of course I will buy it! And I certainly want a signed copy. How can I purchase it??

@ Hilde: I don't know about Belgian bookstores, I have serious doubts. Little golden books are not nearly as popular in Belgium as in Holland.

@ Patricia: I don't know yet. I expect it will be available at http://www.nl.bol.com/ at some point.

Dear Lord. I'll have to cross the border. I hope you realize that I have to drive almost 50 km to buy your wonderfull golden book. But I don't care. In the meantime I can go eat a tasty kroket! :-)))))

net nu de winkels dicht zijn natuurlijk... nou maandag dan maar!

You know what?: I am planning to get rich and famous and live in San Francisco. When I am finally in my American home I'll just visit you in Canada to get the book.
Hm... why do things the easy way?
