The Gift of Nothing Special Edition: Available Now



What do you get the friend who has everything? How about nothing?




A new special edition of The Gift of Nothing is now available. It includes an elegant paper slipcase designed to look like gift wrap. The book itself has an elegant, simple cover with just the words "the Gift of Nothing" and "Patrick McDonnell" on it, along with the drawing of a little wrapped box. We think it's perfect for everyone on your holiday list!




Reports the Washington Post: "A mellow paean to anti-materialism that should ideally be handed out now, before holiday gift mania really kicks in. Spare drawings done in black, white and a seasonal touch of red reinforce the Zen-inspired idea that less is more."




A perfect gift for everyone on your holiday list!
