I ordered a fresh supply of Field Notes notebooks, and as a bonus they sent me this "Armed Services Edition" replica of The Maltese Falcon. I now find they have 67 more titles! (I may have to get them all). www.fieldnotesbrand.com #pulp #publishing #boutiquebooks
A new #comics publisher wants to launch a line of #comics, but wants the reader to understand immediately what sort of comic they are buying based on the TITLE alone. PLEASE MATCH THEM UP. He wants to avoid any possible confusion as they are NOT doing #superheroes. #newcomics #publishing #Genre
