One Final Reminder to (Jay Sherman Voice) Buy My Books Before Christmas/Hanukkah/Life Day
Today seems like a good day to mention that I’m the world’s most prolific author of books about “Weird Al” Yankovic and that you can buy, signed, directly from me or Amazon (buy from me, please; they already have enough money) the many books I’ve written about the legendary performer.
These books make great Christmas presents. And what better way to say “I love you.” than with the gift of a book about “Weird Al” Yankovic?
These include
The Weird Accordion to Al: A beautifully illustrated 516-page guide to Al’s life’s work in music, film, and the live stage, featuring an introduction from Al, who also fact-checked and copy-edited (he was very generous with his time). This covers every song on every album, every episode of The Weird Al Show and Al’s season of Comedy Bang Bang, his Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour, and essays on The Compleat Al, UHF and Weird: The Al Yankovic Story.
The Weird A-Coloring to Al: A gorgeously illustrated 120-page coloring book covering every aspect of Al’s career, including Weird: The Al Yankovic Story featuring the artwork of the brilliant Felipe Sobreiro (a contributor to The Illustrated Al, among other distinctions) that Al called
“unquestionably the greatest coloring book of all time” as well as “the perfect gift for hardcore “Weird Al” fans, and...you know, people who just like to randomly color in stuff”
The Weird A-Coloring to Al: Colored In Special Edition
My illustrator is a colorist by trade, so I had him create a kaleidoscopic hardcover colored version of the book with a new introduction from me. The books are signed by Felipe and myself and numbered (270). They also come with a nifty limited edition 5 by 7 print featuring Felipe’s artwork, signed by Felipe and myself, and limited to 27 cards apiece.
Weird Al: The Book: Al personally chose me to write his 2012 coffee-table book. For the first time ever, you can buy a signed copy directly from me. This is such a new development that it’s not in my store yet, but if you PayPal me 25 dollars at nathanrabin@sbcglobal.net with your address, I’ll send you a copy.
Get them now before I start charging shipping in January! Please consider buying more than one thing, as I’d love to save on shipping, which is very expensive.
This Santa is going crazy—with amazing deals!
This Christmas, my site will be ground zero—for incredible bargains!
I’ve written books about things other than “Weird Al” Yankovic as well!
I wrote a sweet-ass book called The Joy of Trash that you can buy in paperback for 18.75 or in hardcover for 25 dollars. If you purchase a signed and numbered copy of The Joy of Trash, I will include a handwritten recommendation in each one.
That’s way more work for me! But it’s okay. I like selling books. It makes me feel good. It’s very validating. You can also buy Postal, the book about the video game and film series that I co-wrote with Brock Wilbur, You Don’t Know Me, But You Don’t Like Me, the cult 2013 book about Phish and Insane Clown Posse that got 4 stars in Rolling Stone and was named one of its 20 best music books of 2013.
AND for the first time ever, you can buy my 2010 book My Year of Flops directly from me, signed. Just send me twenty-four dollars at nathanrabin@sbcglobal.net with your address and I’ll send a book your way ASAP!
This is the last time I’ll try to sell books from my site this Christmas,
