Post-it Note Diaries

October 18, 2011

This is the trailer to a book called Post-it Note Diaries, written by Arthur Jones. It’s a collection of 20 stories (written by fairly well-known folks) and brilliantly illustrated using the tried-and-true format of Post-it notes.

The intro is great, but the fusillade of stories starting around 2:20 is absolutely delightful. The quick one-line synopses of each chapter are catchy and captivating – and a few are just downright puzzling, and make you want to hear more.

If you’d like to get a sense of his style, I’ve got a funny video of Jones presenting at the Cassette From My Ex book release party. He’s got a great story about sex with the first girl he met at college – also done with a post-it note accompaniment. Also… Eddie Vedder may or may not be involved.

The video is here, near the bottom of the page.

Apologies for the small video – this was taken before I got my fancy camera and was able to record larger, fancier videos.

Small side note: Jones was also a contributor to Cassette From My Ex, a book I was also lucky enough to appear in.
