So, if you’re looking for something special for Christmas and are willing to help, place your order soonish to make sure your package arrives in time. You may as well SHARE this if you want…

Hey! A new book! Out now!
Samuel’s Little Revolutions / La petite révolution de Samuel was officially released last Friday.
This one dives deeper into the meaning of ‘Samuel’. It’s a text-based book written by Aarnoud Rommens, edited by Annabelle Dupret and released by La 5e Couche & Éditions images. The 144 pages contain as well lots of images from the two released Samuel books accompanied with sketches and visuals revealing a bit how its all done. Includes longish discussion between Annabelle and me as well.
So, if you want to learn what the heck Samuel is about, get this one. The book is bi-lingual (in English and in French) and you can get it from the publishers, retailers and me. Cover price 24 €.

Some of you may know that I’ve been slowly building an own small bookstore to be opened here in the village of Siuro where I live in. Well, now it’s finally happening:
STUFF is a special bookstore and a statement in itself.
A small alternative bookstore on the countryside selling material difficult to find in Finland. Stuff focuses on quality small press with the selection consisting of contemporary comics, art, poetry, philosophy and music.
Stuff is a long-term project of mine. It is a persistent structure that will cherish diversity of arts. Just a couple of decades ago even the smallest villages had their own bookstores. These days they do not exist and the selection of bigger cities is shrinking into nil. Meanwhile, most of the quality literature is published by small publishers. These titles are where literature is alive and that is the core of Stuff bookstore.
Stuff is located in an old mill of Valssimylly (Kuljuntie 2, upper yard) in the village of Siuro (Finland). There are no specific opening hours but the doors are open mostly weekdays from 9AM until 4PM.
We celebrate the store opening on 15th of June at 6–8PM with food and drinks and live music by Jukka Nousiainen.
Further information: 050-372 7788 / stuff.siuro@gmail.com
