They say good things come in small packages. They’re usually pretty cute, too. Whoever “they” are…they are right. I’m extremely happy to announce the arrival of a brand new book that is being published by Running Press. It’s titled, “Escape Adulthood: Rediscover the Carefree Kid Within.” It’s printed in full color. It’s hard cover. And it’s really, really small. Running Press publishes all sorts of these miniature editions — you may have seen the mini version of Stephen Covey’s “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” at your favorite book store. And now Running Press is on the Kim & Jason bandwagon.

This project has been over a year in the making, and we’re really excited about it. It’s basically a mini-version of “Escape Adulthood: 8 Secrets from Childhood for the Stressed-Out Grown-Up.” Frankly, I’m amazed at how good of a job the editor did in condensing the original book down, while still retaining the overall message. It makes me feel awfully long-winded, to be honest. (You rock, Teresa!)

The book is coming out on March 31, 2008, but you can pre-order your copy at Amazon.com. They’re great little add-on gifts, and particularly wonderful for people who have a mild case of Adultitis, hate to read, or refuse to read books without pictures.

Meanwhile, the S.W.E.L.L. (Supremely Wonderful & Exciting Loot Lottery) prize winner for February is Club K&J member John Carico! John, who was randomly selected from the gang of Club K&J members, wins an autographed advance copy of the yet-to-be-released book. Congrats, John!
