Via long time SDA reader John, a Christmas book plug;
The illustration of the Dickens' Christmas Carol, was a labor of love for Steve ... Dickens being his favorite author. Each day for five years Steve came home from work and spent his evenings and week-ends doing the frames that would become a wonderful Christmas gift and an annual coffee table presentation.
The art work was entirely done using ink and a quill pen to keep it authentic to the period. In addition, the book is bound in a way that was common in Dickens time.
The books contain approximately 80 pages of beautiful detailed art work and dialog. A nice read to the kids during the holidays .... Kids will like the pictures as they are cartoon-like as kids would see them.
The books are going this year for $50 plus shipping. No tax. They come in a gift box for your convenience. They do make great gifts for the 'hard to buy for' folks.
The books are on currently for sale at the Pentiction Art Gallery and a couple of places in Kelowna.
Steve will take orders through his Boo-Ink FB site.
Steve's childhood nickname was Boo Boo ... thus 'Boo Ink'. Steve is about to turn 60 in Feb and is now retired in the Okanagan Valley ... from the chilly Edmonton.
Update -- if you want to avoid Facebook, Steve's email is stevievossos@gmail.com
I have happily boycotted FaceBook for their entire existence. Is there another way to by this book. I'd love to buy a few. Thanks for bring it to my attention.
PS: Keep up the good work, this is the first place I look every morning.
Cheers,
Peter

Thanks Kate.

Really? This liberal work of garbage being promoted on this blog? The world needs more work houses(not as nasty as Victorian ones) and less people that are not contributing trying to force their values on those that do contribute ( the ghosts).
This is only a little tongue in cheek
There is a blogspot site as well ...

Changing minds one comment at a time.....apparently we get results at SDA!
Just talked with Steve and placed an order. He talked about the process and the amazing hand stitching of the book by his wife. Old school and very impressive. I can't wait to get my books! Fantastic Christmas Gifts...if I'm allowed to say Christmas on here....hopefully I haven't trigger anyone...
Cheers,
Peter
PS: Thanks again Kate!
