If You’re Happy And You Know It… by a doodler man, hitherto know as Andre Jordan

Hello.

This book is excellent. you might rather like it. it is by the Renowned Doodler, Mr. Andre Jordan. He writes things as a Beautiful Revolutionary.

it might quite make you smile, laugh, cry, and be sad, all at once, for it is good like that. i think that it is a story of fairytale proportions and realistic fatalism, told through a compendium of thoughts about what it is like to be human, and quite possibly alive. you might think it is bleaker than a wet weekend spent watching Eastenders and chewing your toenails off, though. People are entitled to their opinions.

(but it’s not like that, at all. there are no references to dark clouds, or, um.

um.

er, okay, well, there are. but it’s still very good.  and better than Eastenders.  And if you like Dark Clouds like you like your tea, then do brew up and jump in.)

Another link to buy If You’re Happy And You Know It.
Because, most people are happy, and they don’t know it. so you might know it, if you read it. possibly.

And for the naysayers amongst book-blog-writer-drawer-maker-artist types, it does not feature much content previously available on these here interwebs!

anyway, please do have a read at a local bookshop, or have a look at some of Andre’s previous creations, as they are excellent too.

I hope it sells a milion copies.

At least.

It’s the perfect Christmas gift!

(So far I have bought three copies and received one copy. I am very grateful.)

A lovely advertisement, M.A. I have put it on my Christmas wish list, taped it the fridge, underlined it several times in orange marker, and surrounded it with little hearts and diamonds made with a pink highlighter.

I will save this as buying it when I get my butt over to the UK for a visit, as it will give me even more impetus to go there.

It really is a miraculous book.

I had a wobbly table, you see.
I bought the book.
Now my table no longer wobbles.
Genius.

Andre: thank you for writing and drawing!

Bohémienne: oh, i hope you get it soon. it is really rather good, you know! really!

Andophiroxia: Oh, i hope that’s soon. Hurrah!

Mr. Witness: That is a genius idea. but have you tried reading it?

not to blatantly advertise or anything but amazon.co.uk really are very, very efficient and speedy at what they do :)

they actually released copies before the proper publication date. i think that was allowed. but maybe not.

andre, we love you.

miles away, U2. and not in a bonoway.

enjoy, destroy. i’m not… (a.k.a. too sticky, um, 7?)
