New York Makes a Book!!

Attn: NYC people. Support the book, make a pledge, get a page, meet everyone in the end.


New York Makes a Book!! is an effort by Claudia Clyde, Yancey Strickler and Perry Chen. The target is amount $3,000.00. At the time of writing this, there are only 29 more supporters (aka. "backers") needed, and the current pledge amount is $2,214 with 11 days to go. You get your very own copy of the finished book, an entire page of your own to express yourself on, and everyone that collaborated will meet up at a bar after it is finished to celebrate.

Why is this a great idea? You get 100 strangers in NYC to create a total of 100 pieces of art, unrelated and undefined, compiled page after page... It might be faster to start with why this wouldn't be a good idea.

Help make the book happen: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nymab/new-york-makes-a-book It won't happen if it doesn't meet the required funding!

KickStarter is a new service that helps artists accomplish their goals without worrying about the money needed to get it off the ground. People who like the idea pledge money to see it happen. Notice I'm saying "pledge" and not "donate". Check out their site at kickstarter.com for more details.
