For fans of My Ideal Bookshelf and Bibliophile, The Call Me Ishmael
Phone Book is the perfect gift for book lovers everywhere: a quirky
and entertaining interactive guide to reading, featuring
voicemails, literary Easter eggs, checklists, and more, from the
creators of the popular multimedia project. The Call Me Ishmael
Phone Book is an interactive illustrated homage to the beautiful
ways in which books bring meaning to our lives and how our lives
bring meaning to books. Carefully crafted in the style of a retro
telephone directory, this guide offers you a variety of unique ways
to connect with readers, writers, bookshops, and life-changing
stories. In it, you'll discover... -Heartfelt, anonymous voicemail
messages and transcripts from real-life readers sharing
unforgettable stories about their most beloved books. You'll hear
how a mother and daughter formed a bond over their love for Erin
Morgenstern's The Night Circus, or how a reader finally felt
represented after reading Gene Luen Yang's American Born Chinese,
or how two friends performed Mary Oliver's Thirst to a grove of
trees, or how Anne Frank inspired a young writer to continue
journaling. -Hidden references inside fictional literary adverts
like Ahab's Whale Tours and Miss Ophelia's Psychic Readings, and
real-life literary landmarks like Maya Angelou City Park and the
Edgar Allan Poe House & Museum. -Lists of bookstores across the
USA, state by state, plus interviews with the book lovers who run
them. -Various invitations to become a part of this book by calling
and leaving a bookish voicemail of your own. -And more! Quirky,
nostalgic, and full of heart, The Call Me Ishmael Phone Book is a
love letter to the stories that change us, connect us, and make us
human.
