Amsterdam: Made by Hand, official book launch… come one, come all!
Posted in amsterdam, amsterdam: made by hand, recent work May 5th, 2010 by pia

So here it is, the official invitation to the official book launch of Amsterdam: Made by Hand.

What do you think? I know I said I’d post it yesterday but I spent all night working on it, as with all my endeavours, they always take longer to create than I initially planned! Anyway, I am so very excited about the event for so many reasons, it’s going to be grand. Other than the above mentioned treats on the day (personally signed copies, enjoying some wine, nibbling on homemade nibbles and listening to some lovely music), I will also be making a special window display for the American Book Center, so by the time the 5th of June comes around, this awesome bookstore will, well, be even more awesome!! If that’s possible.

I am going to reveal more details of the event in the weeks to come but for now I just wanted to officially invite you all. Below is a little snippet from the press release, please help spread the word…


I will also be sharing some more Amsterdam: Made by Hand goodness with you soon including the announcement of some more very special events. I am excited to tell you that the book has already received some excellent press around the world, I will share these with you too! Mostly, I can’t wait for June to roll ’round so you guys can get your hands on them.

xx

    Your invitation is absolutely gorgeous, and well worth the wait!

    I wish I could make it to the official launch in Amsterdam, but sadly I won’t be able to… much as I would love to mooch around my old home town again.

    Do you sell copies of your book online? I’d love to order one! Please let me know. Thanks!

    Thanks guys!!

    Lisette, there is a little button on the top right side bar on my blog which leads straight to the book so you can purchase it online, but here is the link anyway: http://www.littlebookroom.com/amsterdambyhand-preorder.html

    Dear Pia,

    Gosh the new book looks wonderful, I so want to come to Amsterdam. I had such a glorious time exploring Paris with your last book! Which, incidentally I bought in a beautiful bookstore in South Melbourne! ( I was visiting my faraway brother!) I love Paris, and your book was such a springboard to discovering new treasures… thank you and good luck with the new one

    I am ever so dismayed that on my first trip overseas, with my first stop being Amsterdam, that I will have missed this event by a mere two days! But I will indeed find this shop and purchase a copy – this will be a joy none the less! I can’t wait.
