The Pocket Book of Death

[Rob]

Hey dudes.

Just wanted to announce a fun side project we did over the past several months. It's called The Pocket Book of Death (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/The-Pocket-Book-of-Death/Morgan-Reilly/e/9781435103535/?itm=1&afsrc=1&lkid=J24408862&pubid=K150969&byo=1) and it's available both online at barnesandnoble.com or in real life at Barnes&Noble.GoToTheStore.

I urge you guys to buy it online, because it benefits us more, due to their affiliate program. If you buy it online, be sure to use this link (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/The-Pocket-Book-of-Death/Morgan-Reilly/e/9781435103535/?itm=1&afsrc=1&lkid=J24408862&pubid=K150969&byo=1).

So what is The Pocket Book of Death?

Basically it's a little book full of cool facts about death, written by Morgan Reilly and Joanna Tempest, and illustrated by us! Woohoo! It's a departure in style from what you see on the site, but I think you folks will dig it. Plus it's only eight bucks!

Buy it!!

[Gump]

I'll make sure to take a look at it. Probably not going to buy it though as I'm not really into...death.

:/

[Oofie]

What about Matt?

Exclusion is a form of bullying, you know.

[kabili207]

Now if I only had eight bucks...

[SuEsq]

K. Bought it. Even paid the extra 4 bucks for shipping, so, your welcome.

[MaxAlcolo]

Looks nice, I'll try to find a credit card and order it. Also, from the pictures I see the art is different from C&H, but I can still find a bit of influence from it.

[Acid_n_Waterguns]

Wow!! :eyespop: That looks like one kickass book. :] YOU CAN MAKE A DIAMOND OUT OF SOMEONE'S ASHES?!!! Dude... I'm so going to have that done to me when I die if you can actually get that done. It'll become like a family heirloom or something... and if someone ever tries to steal it I can haunt them into submission. :evillaugh Teehee.

[Matt]

What about Matt?

I was busy working on a different project and sat this one out.

[guifig]

I'm in Brazil, and I've just bought one. Feel special.

[HappyPalooza]

I was busy working on a different project and sat this one out.

"Fine guys, I didn't wanna do your stupid book anyway!"

Looks interesting. I'll pick it up if I come across it since it's cheap.

[ChristineHeyMan]

Seems like one of those books you would read once, and then leave it to get caught in a house fire.
I'd still want to buy it anyway..

[Jas[o]n]

Looks interesting. I'll have to check it out, nice work guys!

[G-nius]

Stupid Bank of Ulster and not giving me the things I want access to in life :-( I will have it shortly though :D

[I_Smell]

I actually decided on being diamonised months ago.

[Dave]

Stupid Bank of Ulster and not giving me the things I want access to in life :-( I will have it shortly though :D

Chances are you visit the one 3 minutes from my house :facts:

[G-nius]

The one beside Queen's Bookshop? Your on Camden aren't you, if you you are two streets up from me :-P

[cyf]

I'm in Brazil, and I've just bought one. Feel special.

WHERE DID YOU BUY EET? >_>

[camdude]

hahaha sweet i cant wait to get one... the online sounds good for lazy people... but i want one to carry around.. and my printer is out of ink

[Rob]

hahaha sweet i cant wait to get one... the online sounds good for lazy people... but i want one to carry around.. and my printer is out of ink
Are you serious?

[SharksBoy]

Will check it out but I am not going to buy it.
Death is not my thing

[Shredderbeam]

If they have it in a Barnes & Noble nearby, I might buy it. Depends on how I like it, etc.

[BurgerKueen]

I'd get it if I wasn't going abroad in 2 days. I'll order it when I come back in... August :wail:

[zeveron]

Uuuuh fancy ! Getting my internet bank crap set up tomorrow.. then I'll get it! woop!

[Ditto]

I got the book through the online link. It is a lot funnier than I was expecting. Being on the topic of death, I thought it might be wierd. But it is fresh, interesting, and quite fun to read.

[meegs6sic6]

any plans to release this on a site for UK site viewers (e.g. Amazon)?

Would love the book but can't afford the shipping costs

[Kethan]

hahaha sweet i cant wait to get one... the online sounds good for lazy people... but i want one to carry around.. and my printer is out of ink

Are you serious?

I hope he is, because that is awesome. :D

[Orjasm]

Is this gonna be available in any Australian stores?
I really want to get one!

[Flogalog]

OMG yes I agree! one in Australia!

[enrique66_35]

Just ordered to Ireland and paid $12.98 for shipping...$4 more than the cost of the book! And that was the cheapest option, freaking ridiculous! That book better make me laugh.........

[CnGy]

Nice. Illustrators aye.

Glad I know you ;o

I bet you posting that book on this website is like, doing that guy a big favor, advertising wise.

Is the book good iyo?

[kdl42]

ahh... how i would love to buy it, but sadly, i dont have ne money :wail:

[spartan]

SVEET!!! i gotsis it! looks cool guys!

[spartan]

so if i dont post at all but i still come on the site every day... that still qualifies me as a complete newb?! i call shinanigans!

[G-nius]

:-D My order just went through $15.95 on Shipping.. =(

[Rob]

Yikes! :frown:

[Dave]

The one beside Queen's Bookshop? Your on Camden aren't you, if you you are two streets up from me :-P

I'm on University Street actually, but I'm pretty much your neighbour either way.

[guifig]

WHERE DID YOU BUY EET? >_>

The internets is your friend :)

[Ditto]

If you order 10, you can get free shipping (in the U.S. at least); then your friends can get them from you at the regular cost. That's what I did. Just a suggestion.

[Elloss]

I'm definetly going to buy it, that's for sure. Though I have to wait to get some money, because now I own the bank money... which means I'm not really able to buy it online, since my Visa shows -200 NOK [about £16...]

[Elloss]

I'm on University Street actually, but I'm pretty much your neighbour either way.

Wait, I didn't quite get that... does that mean you live near Camden? I feel stupid for having to ask, but if I don't ask, I will feel even more stupid for don't knowing, and driving myself mad with it. And no, I'm not a stalker.

[anal]

i'll be sure to check it out

[watermc3]

Yeah, PLEASE get it to australia. Perticually WA.

i told my mates about it and they almost flipped. Then i told them how that can buy it, and their faces sunk back into their skulls, fire started comming from their breath, THEIR EYES TURNED INTO LITTLE BLACK BALLS OF LIFELESSNESS (kinda like dolls eyes)..

anyways

Well, it would cost alot to get it here ya know??

Heres to a long and happy future of Cyanide Happiness

Notice i put capitals??

you forgot the "and" :(

[Mosh]

god damnit! i spent all of my money on pizza, then this came along! agh! >:(

[Urser]

I express an interest in this particular product/s.

[DuckityDo]

There is no way I will not be getting it sometime this week.

[coolwhip48]

Wait, I didn't quite get that... does that mean you live near Camden? I feel stupid for having to ask, but if I don't ask, I will feel even more stupid for don't knowing, and driving myself mad with it. And no, I'm not a stalker.

Thats right

[coolwhip48]

Im not to big on death mainly because im not gothic or emo(you dont have 2 be though) i have some buddies who might like it so ill mention it to them cause their wierd and goth

[bananna]

Well if I had a credit card I'd buy it. seeing as I don't I won't. Sorry guys!!! Now find a way to get it into Canadian Chapters book stores and It'll be the next book I pick up

[Matt]

I'd just like to point out that the book has nothing to do with goths.

[MSB]

Awesome! I'm a sucker for theme books with random facts. I just bought it via the link Rob posted, and it should be here in less than 3 days. :smile:

[rainstar]

Oooh.. I wants... *scampers off to the nearest bookstore* I love random factoid book things :P

[Tweek]

I don't know if it's worth it. I mean, it hasn't got Matt and he is the funny one.

[PyroOwned]

Awesome! I'm a sucker for theme books with random facts. I just bought it via the link Rob posted, and it should be here in less than 3 days. :smile:
Me too but I'm english and no way am I paying that much shipping costs. :mad:

Hopefully it will eventually make it here.

[Jiminy Cricket]

I would be a very happy lad if it were possible to get this in Turkey.

[HappyPalooza]

hahaha sweet i cant wait to get one... the online sounds good for lazy people... but i want one to carry around.. and my printer is out of ink

Holy shit, dude.

[Jimith Jamith]

hahaha sweet i cant wait to get one... the online sounds good for lazy people... but i want one to carry around.. and my printer is out of ink

Holy shit, dude.

Ah, just leave him in his bubble of happiness.

[pigganon]

I might buy it. Seems like something I'd buy.:bangkill:

[HallnOatesLuver]

AWWW! I WANT ONE! It sux b/c I always have my mom's permission to buy something! :(

[Ditto]

The B&N store near me does not carry the book, but they told me they would order it for me (no shipping fee). Most B&N stores will do this if you ask them, since it is a B&N book. I agree with Matt and others- this is NOT a "Goth" book at all. In fact, it is just the opposite of what you might expect from the title of the book.

[i-take-pixes-of-my-toes]

='( im too young to die!!

[i-take-pixes-of-my-toes]

That book looks like quite the mellow marsh :hf:

[Loops]

i stopped at B&N today to check it out, and none of the employees knew what i was talking about! =( guess i'll just have to buy it on pay day =D

[gigOtonic]

I'm asking my brother to buy it for me in the USA. I'll get it in like, 60 days, but it's better than nothing, I guess. It sounds really interesting.

[fishyfart]

sounds kool :)

[bananna]

I jsut realised I'll be in Pittsburgh in 2 weeks. If I can find it I'll get it there

[elmartino]

Is the book funny, or macabre, or a delightful combo of the 2?
Also is it very good?

[Mr Anorexia]

I'd just like to point out that the book has nothing to do with goths.
what about emos

[pellefygart]

It looks interesting, and I really, really want it, but I don't have a credit card. -.-

[nicktheh]

Already ordered, hopefully it should come in just as i'm getting back from my trip to ottawa.

[John Travolta]

This thread is hilarious.

[Whoorelily3]

Bahah , sounds like a pretty INTENSE book . ;]

[Levis_is_dead]

It sucks to live in a "third world country" where nothing good ever comes.

[charliec7106]

i want 2 buy it but im poor...

NE1 donating 8 bucks, or 8,000

[charliec7106]

I don't know if it's worth it. I mean, it hasn't got Matt and he is the funny one.

u LAME hes funny but i like them all equally


________________________________________
I NO IM A KISSUP

[Relaps]

So I got the book a couple a days ago.

Yup.

[-dcx-]

This book was freakin' awesome, guys! I read through it all in one day, and it was rather interesting. Some things in there I already was aware of, others, not so much. I think my favorite illustration in that book (that I can remember, anyway) was the one of the Olympic judges holding the signs up for the dead-man's-float suicide jumper. :lol:

[Superdave131]

Great book. The illustrations are great.

[Relaps]

Great book.

This book was freakin' awesome, guys!

Liars.

[Afromaster]

OK

[lylibyrd]

There are now 2 copies of this book floating around my house!!!

Just wanted to say that we both LOVE the book. Excellent job on it guys.

[Overlord]

i bought it like two weeks ago and it still hasn't come

[SuEsq]

I found it entertaining.
It kept the car ride the other day full of entertaining facts about burping caskets and how to shrink a head.

[Hobo_Hank]

There, i bought your book :D

It was really good and stuff. I did happen to notice a picture modified from one of your daily web comics ;)

"Oh, i thought you said URETHRAL injection!"

[SelenatheFaerie]

I want to get it. :D
Ok you guys. Seriously?
It's not a "goth" book.
Everyone dies, not just goth people. It's not celebrating it's giving facts about death, which is something EVERYONE goes through.

Also, printer guy, are you fo rael?

[Katrinaevening]

I love it! Although my family now thinks I've gone goth because I keep quoting random things about death from the book

[nicktheh]

YES! mine is finally coming! it said it's on its way and has left the warehouse, i've been waiting for it for AGES now :(

[Mr. Crow]

Does it contain the fact that when you sneeze your heart stops? Tell me.

[Kia_Dragon_Skullz]

I love this book! It's so awesome!

[321meow]

you forgot the "and" :(

D: how disrespectful! i am disgusted. 'and' is really important!!! how can you forget it! shocking!

[Lucifer_frost667]

hmmmm...id buy that, but i usually end up getting distracted by other stuff in the bookstore.

[Lucifer_frost667]

plus im not really like at our towns barns and nobels because i sat down on some stupid box of merchandise and smooshed it.

[dragontooth]

dude, bought the book! :D didnt have a chance to read it... yet! but i paged thru it and it looks pretty sweet. Huzzah!

[Ricette]

I went and bought it a few hours ago. Ended up walking the four miles to the Barnes and Noble because the bus never showed. But I am reading it and I love it. Its great!

[Suterusu]

Bought it. Read it. Loled.

I found it really informative, and at the same time funny as hell.
Totally worth the $9. {its $8 and change but with tax, just over $9, at least thats what I paid at B&N the other day}

[LilJay0130]

Ummm, ok i went to barnes & noble to get it but cannot find it, what section would it be in?

[Matt]

Ask someone that works there?

[Quadros]

It's in the humour section, behind biographies and next to politics.

We don't have that shop in Britain, and I sure as fuck don't work there

[AyeshaDey]

Oh shit. I wan't it. Now I have too convince mother too buy it for me. She better say yes. >.>

[Jack_TS]

sorry i got it at the store itself but i was going the very day i heard about the book. its in the occult section for some reason. i looked forever in that section but since its so cheap they moved it to the front of the store.

i liked the book, i wish it went into more detail about the guy that survived all those deadly things.

I noticed some jokes from c&h too like urethral injection!

maybe sometime you should make a compilation book of c&h. id buy that for ten bucks and make people who are too lazy to check out the website read it.

thanks for making me laugh everyday, even on days that suck c&h manages to put a smile on my face or make me laugh in the library and have everyone stare at me. hope you got at least a little bit of money from the book i bought.

[KataGena]

I want that book ... :(

Can I ever get it from Morocco ???

[ThePoorKid]

kewl...nice one

[snatchsniffer]

I'm not dead, but if I was, and I really might be but dont know it yet, would definately tell you if your book was shit or definately right on! but I dont know yet either way, you know? I'm contacting a medium to ask around to see what the dead think of it before I get it, but I will be back, maybe to buy the book, maybe in a reincarnation of a emu's sphincter muscle, who knows? The dali lama is getting ready to go, maybe I'll ask him to get a message back through John Edwards... I'll sit back and count my blessings for either being dead or alive or just confused. Remember, its not the cough that carries you off - its the coffin they carry you off in. So smoke up Johnny, unless your being cremated. Damn... I've got Dementia, what was I saying??? er Oh yeah... 2 fried chickens and coke.

[Matt]

What the fuck are you talking about?

[Relaps]

Yeah, really. That made no sense.

[Kristam]

Wait, I didn't quite get that... does that mean you live near Camden? I feel stupid for having to ask, but if I don't ask, I will feel even more stupid for don't knowing, and driving myself mad with it. And no, I'm not a stalker.

yeh i never post - but just to clarify

http://www.letsgodu.com/DU%20Hockey%20News/2006-2007/images/CowPorn.jpg

[jessiekt]

i can't figure out how to post stuff... is this posting? am i doing it right?

[viperGTSkank]

Bought it. Read it. Loved it.

[WolfDeano3]

I LOVE THIS BOOK, IT WAS A QUICK READ.

[zeveron]

Just got mine in the mail!

Took some time for them to ship it to sweden, but damn, it was worth the wait :D Awesome job guys.

Too bad I cant use the McDonalds coupon here... ;D

[DuckityDo]

i just went out last night i got "The Pocket Book of Death" and it was totally worth the time spent looking all over Barnes and Noble for it (since they had it put in the wrong section and forgot to update their maps saying so)

the book wouldn't be nearly as awesome fi the illustrations were done by anyone else. =)

[CrossdressInPink]

I've been wanting to buy it, haven't been able to go to the store, though.
And last time I was there I didn't have money. >:

[signy]

Seeing as how I recently quit my job, when I get money, I'll definetly buy it xD

[evinh0]

I live in Brazil, i got the book today after 29 days that i bought it at bn.com xD

very nice =)

[zombielovejuice]

I'm in Brazil, and I've just bought one. Feel special.

Ew dirty brown person. this book does sound interesting. but your out of your goddamn mind. not all of us are fucking made of money assholes.

[evinh0]

Ew dirty brown person. this book does sound interesting. but your out of your goddamn mind. not all of us are fucking made of money assholes.

im not brown, but i can be dirrrtyy... ;)
i only bought this book cause its cheap, $9 + $13 delivery = $22 dollars. it was $38 or something like that in Brazil money, $38 is the cost of most of the books here so... whatever =B

[Mycroft]

I ordered and read it.
It was a great read, and a funny one, too.
Does anyone know if there'll be similar projects in the future?

[zeveron]

I ordered it from BN.com to Sweden, took some time, the delivery cost more than the actual book, but damn, it was worth it :)

[Squash]

So I was reading the part about the deaths of the emporers when my english teacher comes along. He takes my book and begins reading it. All of a sudden he squeals and drops the book back on my desk. He later tells me that the illustration was disgusting. Props to whoever drew it that totally made my day.

[Mr. Crow]

I LOVE THIS BOOK, IT WAS A QUICK READ.

ha ha, yeah, because reading is hard

[FMLFTW]

sweet. just bought it. I actually saw it on wikipedia here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naegleria_fowleri. I can't wait to get it. its really funny. I just started looking at this website and i found the book before i knew you guys illistrated it. :D
Thank god for gift cards :p
