GI Joe Memories Book

Writer Justin Bell and I are assembling a new non-fiction book about our most favorite toy, GI Joe, and we are trying to raise funds to pay for the professional formatting and cover that are required by the publishing imprint we're working with.

We plan for the book to be out by the end of 2016, but will need the funds sometime after June.

NOTE: all contributors will have their names listed in the book (unless they request otherwise).

Here's what it's all about:

"THE JOY OF JOE is thirty-plus essays about the joy of growing up with one of the greatest toys of all time.

"The book will collect the memories of Joe fans from over fifty years of childhood play, and focus on the true joy of the figures and their accessories. Everything from the original 1960s soldiers through the 70s Adventure Team and into the later Real American Hero era WILL be covered in equal measure!"

Justin and I see this as the ultimate tribute to not only the toy itself, but to the joy of play and childhood. We would be very grateful if you could help us achieve our vision of the book and have it look as professional as possible. In return, we will try to keep its price as reasonable as we can when it's published, so that everyone can share in THE JOY OF JOE.

Thanks,

Jim Beard
