Dawn of A New Era

A Once In A Lifetime Opportunity

Dear Friend,

I am a high school teacher at a public school in the Bronx, not a salesperson, so I can’t give you a “sales pitch” here. I can only tell you a little more about this first edition, what makes it so special, and why at this price it is an amazing bargain.

The price is attractive even if it were not a first edition. Books with this much high quality artwork typically sell for $75 - $125 — or even more. One of the books in my library, which I discuss in Goodbye Gutenberg, is entitled, Mira Calligraphae Monumentae. It is published by the renowned J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles and sells for $150. Now consider the price: $150. First, there is nothing rare or unusual about this Getty Museum book. Second, the book is literally half the size of Goodbye Gutenberg and has only one third the number of images. Yet it sells for more than three times than Goodbye Gutenberg.

If you visit the websites of leading art, design and coffee table book publishers, you will find many that are priced in the $60.00 - $90.00 range. They rarely — if ever — offer as many high quality images as Goodbye Gutenberg. They rarely contain such groundbreaking designs. And they rarely are first editions.

If you are reading this page, it’s probably because you know someone who has a copy of Goodbye Gutenberg and you’ve probably seen the actual book yourself. At the very least, you have clicked on the pop-up windows and seen the gorgeous full-color pages throughout this website. You know what a rare and extraordinary a find this is. And you can own Goodbye Gutenberg for only $47.95.

You can still own a limited first edition printing… but hurry!
Only 4,700 copies of Goodbye Gutenberg were printed. When this edition sells out, that's it, there will never be another chance to own a limited first printing. Just to give you an idea of the potential value that books can have, consider just a few of the first editions by contemporary authors that have appreciated dramatically over the past 20 years:

Anne Rice, Interview with the Vampire: $1,000
Thomas Pynchon, V: $3,000
Alice Walker, Once: $1,500
Toni Morrison,The Bluest Eye: $5,000
Harper Lee, To Kill A Mockingbird: $20,000
Sue Grafton: A is for Alibi: $1,500
Tom Clancy, The Hunt for Red October: $1,250

Now I can't guarantee that in 20 years Goodbye Gutenberg will be worth a million dollars. But I can guarantee that you will be amazed, stunned, absolutely flabbergasted by this book. At the very least, you will consider it gorgeous and want to keep it for a lifetime. You will want to share it with family and friends. If not, just send it back for a full refund. No hassles, no questions asked.
