More Kooky Pets on the way

August 12th, 2010

The second batch of “Kooky Pets” book is here! I’m gonna get them all signed today and they will be shipped tomorrow Friday, so all USA residents might get them by next Monday.

Many of the first buyers have already received the book and so far they all seem to be very happy. I’m really excited about having all the books delivered to you. Please don’t forget to write your testimonial in the Testimonials post after you read the book. It really means a lot to me to hear how you feel about the book. This will also be very useful and helpful to my career and for the promotion of the 2nd edition of “Kooky Pets”.

Speaking of the 2nd edition, the book will be out in October this year and it will be available in all large online stores, including Amazon and Barnes & Noble. It will include a Foreword from one of the artists I admire the most, sculptor and doll maker Lorell Lehman. More details about the second edition to come…

    Oh i am so bummed that I couldn’t order a first edition. I am new to the site and actually found you fromsomeone else’s blog. The book looks awesome and the art work is amazing. I guess I will have to wait until the fall and the 2nd edition. Great work!!

  2. Hi Norma,
    The 2nd edition will be available by October in all large online stores, including Amazon and Barnes & Noble. I’ll keep everyone updated in this blog and through the Newsletter. It will come with something extra: a Foreword by wonderful doll maker and sculptor Lorell Lehamn.

    Thanks for your interest, nice to meet you!

    hi koldo,
    i tried sending an email, but it didn’t seem to go through… is this the last batch of the first edition? i’m hoping mine was in it? :D

  4. Hi Zoe,
    Yes, this is the second and last batch. It was sent out last Friday so you should get it anytime during this week.

    Cheers!

  5. I’m so jealous! I wish Naomi would’ve share this with me earlier. In fact, I blame her for not sharing it at all!

    This is great stuff Koldo. Very well done.

    @Nathan – Not true! I totally told you about Kooky Pets. You just don’t remember.

    You should see them in person. Gorgeousness. :)

  7. Thanks Nathan. The 2nd edition will be in online stores in October.

    Regarding Naomi, she’s not my manager/publicist, believe me. She’s just my wife, my best friend and my partner, but that’s enough responsibility for her.

  8. Naomi – but you didn’t tell me they were almost sold out!

    It’s OK, kudos to Koldo for such great work and for selling out. I can’t wait to see them in the store.

    I’m just giving Naomi a hard time :)

Words from the readers...

I love everything about the book: the wonderful illustrations (obviously), the layout that compliments them so well, all those awesome black and white decorations, the fonts, the text itself, the handwritten notes surrounding every pet, the… everything.

In his own unique way and with this unique and perceptive vision (mixed with a generous dollop of gentle humour), Koldo has created a book that is, at its core, about love, honesty, acceptance and a generosity of spirit. The delightful optimism of childhood is alive in these pages.

Kooky Pets is a beautifully illustrated book, full of characters that will make you laugh and wonder about your own Kooky Pet. If I had children, I would buy a copy and share it with them every night. I don’t have children, so I can’t share it with them. But you know, reading through this reminds me how much fun it was to play with the Kooky Pets of my childhood. It brings me so much joy to read and look at, I just might have to buy a copy to share with myself every night!

This is a book for twilight, to read by the light from a jar of fireflies. It draws you into a fantastical part of our world that’s there if you just look for it hard enough. It’s fantastical creatures are brimming with personality and each one is looking for friendship. They say that each of us has our own Kooky Pet just waiting to find us.
