A graphic promoting the preorder campaign for AMERICAN RAMBLER: Walking the Trail of Johnny Appleseed by Isaac Fitzgerald. It reads, "Preorder AMERICAN RAMBLER by Isaac Fitzgerald with Blue Willow to receive a set of numbered prints created by Steven Weinberg, and signed by both Steven and Isaac, along with your copy of the book. Want your book signed and personalized? We can make that happen, too!" The book cover is situated beneath the text, next to images of the two prints, one of which features an apple tree, and the second of which features six apples.

They fucking hate it.
The kids are alright.
Your book was one of my favorite things I read last year.
And I am very familiar with the feeling of being so happy for everybody and also needing to throw my phone in a pond.
