Friends of the Animal Center Foundation Chapbook

If any of you would like a copy of Yellow Cat and the Man, please let me know and I will order you a copy of Friends of the Animal Center Foundation chapbook. I know this post will apply more to locals, to closer friends, and to those who personally remember Toby, but if you are an animal lover, and you’re reading this post in Botswana, I’d be happy to get a copy to you as well.

How much will these chapbooks cost? That depends on how many I order. Michael of FACF gives me the following scale:

1-2 copies are $7 each
3-5 copies are $6 each
6+ copies are $5.50 each

The more of you who order, the better deal we all get. Well, except me. But the rest of you, you’re all in this together!

If you’re ordering from far away, I might ask you to cover postage as well.

At any rate, let me know, and when I get back from some mysterious island in the Pacific, I’ll start collecting monies and addresses, and taking action. I can actually say it’s for a good cause.

Tomorrow night–the LAST of the Substance agent queries! I should probably throw a party. Wait…it’s my birthday too. What a coincidence! See you later tonight for book group.

Some thoughts:

When you read it now, it doesn’t feel dated. It felt pertinent. The book feels real, especially politically. The themes can be transferred to any time.

King seems to really focus on character and relationship in this book. King is also an author who focuses on a great many different genres.

King does human nature best. His best work focuses on people. Those books don’t require too far a stretch beyond the reality of what already is, which might be horrifying. Small steps eventually take the reader out there, and then you’re out there.
