Comments on: Man with Magnifying Glass http://rodneysmith.com/blog/?p=220 The End (is Just the Beginning) Wed, 01 Sep 2010 17:38:01 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: admin http://rodneysmith.com/blog/?p=220&cpage=1#comment-240 admin Mon, 25 Jan 2010 17:42:50 +0000 http://rodneysmith.com/blog/?p=220#comment-240 Hello, and thank you for reading. The price of the book is not meant to alienate anyone. The book was made without any expenses spared. The paper, Mohawk Superfine 80# cover, is the finest available. The printing, masterfully done by Kim Blanchette of Blanchette Press in Vancouver, is perfect. It was printed and bound in the USA (and Canada), as opposed to overseas, where the costs ( and the quality in turn) are less. The End is a special tome, and is made so by the content and the value of its production. To anyone who buys it, it is really one-of-a-kind. For information on purchasing the book in installments, please call the studio at 845.359.3814. Best, Rodney Hello, and thank you for reading. The price of the book is not meant to alienate anyone.

I think that the 'ability to express oneself' is definitely a sign of 'intelligence', and when the expression is done well, it is a sign of 'talent' that can only stem from 'self- knowledge' and '-love'. Being able to 'feel the art' is a sign of completion - the element and the artist are one. It is a rare thing that you clearly master - just as Isaac Stern and his violin.. Charlotta I completely agree with you!

After visiting the book site, I think perhaps it should be titled 'The "High" End' ? I'd like to hear more about your thoughts on marketing strategies. Creative writing, great thoughts. I just wish your book was more accessible to me, but I am obviously not your market. Your book seems unique. After visiting the book site, I think perhaps it should be titled ‘The “High” End’ ?
