they cut off the top half of the bookcase picture from the front page. this could be my bookcase, with less seuss. i have all the goosebumps - i mean all of them - on the top shelf with a few tip top and elf books, like mr schnitzel's cookies. the middle shelf is for modern children's books. and the bottom shelf is for the vintage tall books and 3D Izawa books. the antique books are in the glass front case. those goosebumps really light up a bookcase.

Anyone from the auction can pick one and I'll have the artist print and sign that and guarantee that it'll be the only print of that particular piece of art ever sold. A one of a kind. You can contact me through the email address on the last page of the book.

I'd like to donate some original artwork from "Box Head Man". This is not a commercial post as "Box Head Man" is free. It contains no advertising. It costs you nothing and I don't make anything from it. This is the very first enhanced children's ebook. Someday the art from this book could be very valuable because it's the FIRST enhanced children's ebook. When I first heard about the iPad I worked very hard to develop what I thought would be a whole new form of ebook. I designed the book specifically for the iPad as no other ereader could show videos. The iBook is coded in HTML5. It's a wonderful children's enhanced ebook that is written in Seussian style rhyme and has videos that match the text. Once again, the ebook is free. It'll take a little while to download because of the videos but I guarantee you'll like it. I'd offer to give you your money back if you dont like it but it's free. From your iPad go to the iTunes ebook store and search for Box Head Man. I have given away about four thousand books in three months. I'd donate one of the pieces of art from any page if the auction would like to take one. Anyone from the auction can pick one and I'll have the artist print and sign that and guarantee that it'll be the only print ever sold. A one of a kind. You can contact me through the email
