david bowick: how to disappear completely

This book pretty much defined the start of my summer. Along with the few novels I spent laying out in the garden reading, this was constantly on my iPhone. Although I truly am against eBooks, the Kindle, whatever (I'm sorry but a paperback book will always be worth more, the feel and the smell and the actual words on paper), I thought I'd have a try.

I found How To Disappear... for free on feedbooks.
From the first line I was hooked.

The heartache, feelings of awkwardness, the odd happenings - and yet, not too odd, the things that could and do happen to us - all summed into one beautiful, if not slightly addictive, little eBook.

I want to own this on paper, so much so that after finding out it was never published and bound with the cute cover above, I downloaded the pdf and am planning to print it myself. Because I own all the books that have changed me in one way or another.

*Thank you to David Bowick for leaving the comment below about buying the published version of his book on lulu.com, a self-publishing site (that may come in handy the day I finish writing my book).
