      I got my book and love it! I want to tell others about it so they can order it. Should I send them here, or is there a place to order it directly?

      Doodle Senseis, I will take this moment to publicly thank you for your encouragement and invitation to this glorious situation of kickstarter. While I anxiously await my PBB copy of "how to doodle" I grow ever enthusiastic and hopeful that my own project may be as successful as yours. Perhaps your fans may be interested in an equally-educational but a bit more "gravitas" (that means heavy) subject matter?

      That is a great question, Elizabeth D! We will have extra books after this is all over, and we can either sell them to you at our list price (TBD) or work something out at one of the higher pledge levels. A little horse trading perhaps.

      Will it be possible to obtain multiple copies of your publication?

      I'm not sure what donation level that falls into, but I am considering giving your book as a present to a doodley-challenged friend, and want one for myself as well.

      Keith, I am quite confident that, once you are forced to read this book and then sit in a really boring place for a very long time, you will find your inner doodler has been there all along. For our part, we cannot wait to send you, and everyone else this book. Thanks for your support!

      I have high hopes for your book, "Teach the World How to Doodle." I assume, of course, that the "The World" includes even the doodle-challenged, such as myself, who can barely scrawl a few dispirited curly lines and the occasional misshapen, indecipherable blob. How I long to produce vibrant masterpieces of the doodle art, as you have done. I am hoping that your book will unleash my inner doodle-Rembrandt, or at the least, my inner doodle-Hans Holbein (the Younger). Godspeed, intrepid sirs!

      Yes, we were very careful to make sure that we would not be in competition with anyone's mother. Thanks for your support.

      My mom could write a better book on the subject than you, but since she didn't I'll settle for yours.

I work as a writer and web producer in New York City, but maintain a second life as an artist and unserious writer in Brooklyn. Nowadays, my output is 90% doodle/10% birthday cards. I have recently finished my first book, "How To Doodle," co-doodled with Andrew Cleary. We hope you will like it; it's pretty silly.
