“Brain Food for the Starved Mind” is a bawdy one hundred seventy-seven page book. You can almost think of the content as kid stories for adults, but if you’re going to almost think, why bother?
The book is a collection of fifty micro stories, each one chock-full of meaning and claptrap. No matter if they’re mostly one to three pages long, they all pack a wallop at the end. These tiny tales are as diverse as the stars you see in your head when you get knocked out by a baseball.
I modeled the design of the book after one of Kurt Vonnegut’s paperback memoirs titled “A Man Without a Country.” I figure if it was good enough for him, it’s good enough for me. As such, the inside pages are 60# white offset stock and the book sports a 12 pt. coated silk laminate cover. The body type has been lovingly struck in Adobe Garamond Pro and the headings rendered with American Captain. Good stuff that American Captain, plus the movie wasn’t bad either. I designed and laid out the book with Adobe’s Photoshop and InDesign then unwittingly swallowed a small cockroach that had snuck into my coffee cup.
