The secret origin of Jeff Smith's BONE Comes to Light! Cartoon Books presents THORN: The Complete Proto- BONE College Strips from 1982 to 1986, and Other Early Drawings, reprinting the entire run of his earliest rendering of Jeff Smith's world-famous BONE characters for the first time. These comic strips reveal an early version of BONE called THORN that was written for a college audience in the 1980s. THORN appeared in the pages of The Ohio State University's student newspaper The Lantern. A few were reprinted in a self-published 1983 book called THORN: Tales from The Lantern. Another small selection was published in 2008's limited edition fundraiser for OSU's Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum called Before BONE. Both books are long out of print and sell at collector's prices. There has never been an official, complete run published until now. This beautiful edition includes plenty of bonus material such as recently discovered early drawings of the BONE characters, essays and interviews.Shipping Notes

Beautiful physical book / perception altering offerings
Format: Hardcover
I encountered this book when I was 9 years old and it completely changed the way I lived my life and viewed others. No more woe is me, nor life isnʻt fair. Instead I realized my actions and perceptions are in my control. Truly mind altering.
Annually I have a selection of books and other writings, including The Prophet, that I read again. The Prophet is always fresh and I come away with new eyes and attitude.
The hardcover book is beautiful with the book pages kissed with a serene blue that is reflected on the cover and the text within. Just looking at the book makes me feel calm and ready for the words of love, acceptance, and the freedom to be.
I purchased this book for myself to replace the tattered paperback I was given as a child. After reading and rereading over the past couple of days I am going to purchase a few more books to gift to people I love.

Beautiful Book
Format: Hardcover
Book is nicer than expected. I highly recommend this book for personal collection or for a gift. The edges are blue gilded and the cover is lovely. It has a nice index which was not available in another "The Prophet" book I previously ordered. "The Prophet" is one of my favorite books.

Biblical Style With Nondenominational, Contemporary Influences
Format: Kindle
I've read this twice now. It has the feel of an apocryphal book of the Old Testament, with a serious but heartwarming rhetorical style. The contents of the prophet's sermons are fairly modern, but the topics are abstract enough that they feel timeliness. This is a fun grab bag of aphorisms. Your mileage will vary based on how clearly the metaphor of each aphorism speaks to your own experience. I always find this book intriguing, but inherently hit or miss.

Beautiful Book Filled With Timeless Wisdom And Poetic Imagery
Format: Hardcover
This book just entered the public domain here in the United States and I heard good things about it so I thought I order a copy to celebrate Public Domain Day and introduce myself to this classic work of literature. This is a nice, sturdy hardcover edition from Penguin Classics with blue gilding on the pages and a sweet forward by Rupi Kaur who herself was inspired by the book growing up.
With the first page, I was hooked and read the whole way through. The language is so elegant and rhythmic, and the lessons being taught are quite profound, for example the section on "Crime and Punishment" and how it speaks about citizens viewing criminals as "strangers" when they themselves have the same propensity to committing similar acts really stood out to me upon my first reading.
Even though it's a very short book (about 100 pages long), it is so dense with imagery that it could take multiple re-readings in order to grasp every detail and inner truth being written. I plan to revisit this book every now and again in order to do so and it would serve as a nice companion for my life's journey. I highly recommend this to everyone.
