My Lifelong Battle with Mental Illness Has an Unexpected but Welcome Permutation: Offering CRAZY Deals on All of my Books!
I have been very upfront and open about my lifelong battle with Depression, Anxiety and other forms of mental illness. Mental illness was the theme of my 2009 debut memoir The Big Rewind as well as my fourth book, 2013’s You Don’t Know Me But You Don’t Like Me.
I tried to make Weird Al: The Book a harrowing exploration of my lifelong battle with mental illness as well but was informed that since it was a coffee table book about the life and career of beloved entertainer and national treasure “Weird Al” Yankovic, it should probably focus on him rather than myself.
I’ve tried to do my part to de-stigmatize mental illness by being as honest and candid as possible about the bad chemicals in my brain and my never-ending battle to stay safe and sane.
I’ve learned that Depression can be a gift as well as a curse. Yesterday, for example I suddenly developed an extreme form of mental illness that could play havoc with my life and my finances but will benefit you, the Happy Place reader, in a very real and concrete way.
Call me Crazy Ernie because I am now offering deals in the Nathan Rabin’s Happy Place store that are downright INSANE! Nathan Rabin’s Happy Place is about to become Nutty Nathan’s Crazy Place!
I am legitimately worried about once again being dragged, kicking and screaming, into a mental hospital because of bargains that are not just extreme: they’re pathological.
The men with the butterfly nets are going to come after me once it becomes public knowledge that for a limited time only, lucky bargain-hunters get a free copy of The Weird A-Coloring to Al, the smash hit “Weird Al” Yankovic-themed coloring book I created with the brilliant illustrator and colorist Felipe Sobreiro, with the purchase of any book in the store other than The Weird A-Coloring to Al.
That means that if you buy a copy of The Weird A-Coloring to Al: Colored-In Special Edition, not only do you get a limited edition signed (by Felipe and myself) and numbered (to 270) hard-cover, full-color book AND one of 10 signed (by Felipe and myself) cards exclusive to the site, all numbered to 27, but you get a FREE coloring book as well!
Buy a copy of Postal? Get a free coloring book. Treat yourself to a signed copy of my cult classic memoir You Don’t Know Me But You Don’t Like Me? I’ve got great news for you: you get a free copy of The Weird A-Coloring to Al! That’s true of every other book in my store!
If you buy a signed copy of The Joy of Trash for 16.50, shipping, handling and taxes included, you get a free, autographed coloring book, which means you get a thirty-three dollar value and two amazing books for HALF that price. Crazy, huh?
That, quite honestly, is TOO good of a deal but I am so bonkers for savings that I’m no longer able to delineate between a good deal and pure madness.
It’s not like I’m giving away my most awesome recent books: I am LITERALLY giving them away!
So take advantage of this limited time offer before I come to my senses!
The Joy of Trash, the Happy Place’s first non-"Weird Al” Yankovic-themed book is out! And it’s only 16.50, shipping, handling and taxes included, 30 bucks for two books, domestic only! PLUS a signed copy of The Weird A-Coloring to Al!
