harperperennial: booksinthekitchen: A few months ago, I emailed Natalie Olsen, my favourite designer in the country, and asked if she was interested in helping me make something kind of… unusual. To my surprise, she said yes right away, and within hours we were already getting started trying to figure out how to make it happen. We made it happen. Presenting the 2015 Short Story Advent Calendar, a series of 24 individually bound stories that readers open, one by one, on the mornings leading up to Christmas. More than 500 pages in total, plus a gorgeous full-colour slipcase and lid to keep them looking sharp on your shelves for years to come. Contributors? Oh, I don’t know. Ever heard of Jess Walter (author of Beautiful Ruins)? How about Heather O’Neill? Pasha Malla? Richard Van Camp? Zsuzsi Gartner? Or [redacted x 19]? This is a one-time, limited-edition print run, so once these copies are gone, they’re gone for good. Most of the stories have never appeared in a book before. Some are 100% new. The calendar is officially on sale today. I hope you consider it as a gift for the bookish people in your life, or maybe as a seasonal treat for your own self. I’m proud as hell of it. Ordered one for myself and one as a gift. YES -- source link
