SEEKING YOUR REVIEWS AND COMMENTS!

Since the artists Kahn and Selesnick chose to publish the guidebook independently and also not distribute it through amazon dot com, it’s ineligible for/invisible to many mainstream review platforms—in the year 2023, for a book to have such an outsider stance gives its presence in some people’s lives a bit of a serendipitous-speakeasyish-word of mouth quality we in truth don’t mind a bit of, but at the same time, we recognize that many of us humans have become accustomed to crowd-sourcing context or reassurance that a book might suit our needs via user reviews, before plonking down some cash, and I have empathy for those who want to read what other readers think about a book. While eschewing corporate-mediated platforms has its merits, it also limits opportunities to participate in the Commons—reviews and being reviewed are also a way of making and being in conversation and community. So, I devised a strategy for self-publishing reviews.

I’m also, as an artist and a person making and doing things intended to be shared with other people, very appreciative when people take the time to give me feedback.

If you’re willing to share some of your thoughts and impressions of the book, whether to be shared publicly in the space below or privately only with me, I’d be supergrateful. To make the process easy, I made a Google form that won’t collect any of your email or personal data beyond what you choose to share in the spaces provided. You can find it here:

And: though I’m not terribly visible or active on social media, your follows, posts, comments and spontaneous reviews there really do mean so much to us ! The artists Kahn and Selesnick and I are supergrateful for your tags and shares !
