The Blue Tarp Bible, the feel-sorta-good thriller of the late spring, is now available from retailers. Each cover of the book contains one actual grommet, constructed of the highest-grade Chinese lead paint. OK, probably not. However, I would personally not suck on it, and it is not approved for industrial use.

Anyway, the book is very slick, and even has -- I couldn't make this up -- tarp blue type on the inside pages.

Production note: The illustrations for the book -- the most comprehensive guide to blue tarp use of its kind -- were drawn by Chris Cox, a wonderful artist who is an old friend from back when she worked at The Seattle Times. Her image of the blue-tarp dog sheath, which made the back cover, is one of many fabulous pieces of art in the blue tarp genre contained inside.

Order extra copies from Amazon or somewhere else. They're small.

Watch for more shameless promotion of the Blue Tarp Bible here in the coming days, followed by even more shameless promotion into the summer, followed by shameless bookstore appearances of Grommit, the blue tarp superhero (pictured above).

WOW! I just finished this joy of a book. I hadn't realized how significant my role in society. I read the book during the short, 14 minute WTA ride between my house and work. Now I absolutely must make a BBT flag--naturally using duct tape to form the letters "BBT".
