I recently spotted this delightful box set at Land Gallery. Put out by mini-notebook maker extraordinaire Scout Books, this box set includes their entire set of Good Ink: American Shorts, ten total, plus two blank notebooks. Each 32 page pocket-sized volume pairs a must-read American Author with a contemporary illustrator. I’m sure you can buy these classics used for a lower price, but keep in mind that purchasing these supports independent publishers, printers and artists. The books included in the set:
- Vol. 1 “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” by Ambrose Bierce
Illustrated by François Vigneault - Vol. 2 “Rip Van Winkle” by Washington Irving
Illustrated by Bwana Spoons - Vol. 3 “The Jelly-Bean” by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Illustrated by Vanessa Davis - Vol. 4 “The Story of an Hour” and Other Stories by Kate Chopin
Illustrated by Gemma Correll - Vol. 5 “Eve’s Diary” by Mark Twain
Illustrated by Meg Hunt - Vol. 6 “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Illustrated by Aaron Renier - Vol. 7 “Young Goodman Brown” by Nathaniel Hawthorne
Illustrated by Zack Soto
Released Mid November - Vol. 8 “The Fall of the House of Usher” by Edgar Allan Poe
Illustrated by Tom Neely - Vol. 9 “To Build a Fire” by Jack London
Illustrated by Michael Hsiung - Vol. 10 “The Gift of the Magi” and Other Stories by O. Henry
Illustrated by Kate Bingaman-Burt
All of the Good Ink American shorts can also be purchased individually for $4, shipping included.
