“Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.” -Eleanor Roosevelt
Let’s go with ideas, shall we?
100% made from recycled material, made in the USA, vegetable-based ink, 32 pages, 3.5x5in, 70lb text white paper, top-notch quality offset printing, limited edition, small print runs.
Powerful & world-changing books don’t have to be massive tomes and tales hidden in obscure journals.
These goofy little bastards can fit easily right inside your pocket.
These little bad boys and girls will be something-something meant to tickle your brain and wind up some new ways of thinking.
The key lessons from “Where Good Ideas Come From” by Steven Johnson
Tiny Book Publishing can take chances with titles that other, more traditional publishers cannot.
When the others push to go big, we’ll push to stay tiny.
Books minimal in size yet big on groundbreaking ideas.
Robert Frost wrote, “We dance round in a ring and suppose, But the Secret sits in the middle and knows.”
Ideas come as big as Land of the Giants, or as small as Terror in Tiny Town.
Delivered hot and fresh to your door, these neato little new friends are smaller than a Hot Pocket, and they will not burn the roof of your mouth or cause explosive diarrhea. However, past performance is no guarantee of future results.
The person who does not read good books has no advantage over the person who can’t read them. -Mark Twain, 1895 A.D.
Tiny Book Publishing Next Steps: Find some people with ideas worth reading and get some words on paper. Once on paper, get them printed, in a tiny way. Then, get them in your hands. And, if we can sell 1,000 books at $1,000 each, there’s a cool million. Heh, heh. Just kidding. Or am I?
