We decided to start by designing graphic t-shirts that feature iconic book covers from some of the world’s great stories—some of the covers are classics, some are just curious enough to make really fun shirts. From the moment we launched Out of Print, the support from readers around the world has been tremendous. To date, our shirts are worn and appreciated in over 79 countries. They are bringing strangers together to talk about books and are getting people to read more. As people embrace the new digital reading experience, the future of the book cover is in question. We need your help to fund the final product development and setup costs for a new line of Out of Print eBook jackets for iPad, Kindle Fire and Nexus 7. Your support is integral to the success of this project. Thank you in advance and happy reading! Todd and Jeff.
