SLDXO Little Free Library Book Drops

Lately we've been trying to reduce the amount of material in our home, get the most out of what we have, and up our sticker game. Toward that end, we're placing copies of our books in Little Free Libraries after customizing them with new creations.

Today we dropped off sets of four books covering decades of writing in six different spots across the city, including three in Roscoe Village.

First we re-upped on 228s with an order of 750 USPS postal stickers. 100% free! We live in a great country.

We prepared 15 sets consisting of four books each. In each of these books, except for one, which doesn't have any blank spaces, we added the following:

• A priority mail 228 sticker with stamped signatures and our social media handles as well as a stamp that says "Let us know what you think." This is placed on the back inside cover

• Inside random pages is a postcard for our Spots, Forms and Methods in Arte Agora" that we first published in October 2023 and another postcard for Jacoulet booklet when it was published in March 2022. There are five different types of Jacoulet postcards. Here's three:

• Lastly, on the frontispiece, an SLDXO logo sticker

Let us know if you happen to pick up any of these!

Here’s a description of the editions:

CUTGroup Book

These are mainly pulled from the 50 second edition copies that I ordered from Amazon in August 2016. They are numbered variously in the 20s and 30s. There are also two first edition copies in this batch.

Arte Agora First Edition

These are almost all from the first edition second printing of 400 and all of them are numbered. Some are from the first printing-- these copies have blank spines and the cover image doesn't extend all the way across the front of the cover. Buy the revised second edition-- including a new foreward from Shawn-Laree.

Economics First Edition

These are all from the first and only printing of this 2003 book. They are marked in the back inside spine as "Amazon x/27". This means that we pulled out 27 books that we were willing to part with we are selling in our Amazon store.

Paul Jacoulet: Outsider Artist

All of these are from the first and only edition in a printing of 250. The numeral is hand-entered and the 250 is printed.
