For you who know me on here, you probably remember who I am from the meets and stuff. If not, I will explain briefly...



I am a part time crab fisherman, I play a role in Discovery Channel's Deadliest Catch and I'm also a photographer. Over the past 5 years Ive taken photos of the crabbing world. Its very fascinating because its so surreal compared to normal life.



Well, I've put together a coffee table book this year. It is a very professional, top quality, hard back book. This is not one of those 'self publish - print on demand' books. This is a 'pick it up at your major book store today' type of book.



I'm offering to autograph all pre-orders that are in before the first shipment of books arrives, on September 13th.



These would make an awesome gift for anyone who enjoys the fishing world, deadliest catch, or any of that stuff.



I priced them very reasonably for a coffee table book and I'm confident that if you bought it, you would be 100% happy with your purchase. Anyway, like I said, check it out ... pass the message along to your friends as well. Special nopistons pre order deal.

How about free crabs with each book purchase? Just throw them in the box.

We'd better be more specific, like give him a species' name or something. No telling what we might get if we just said "crabs."

lol... I should toss in a soggy crab leg with every book! Like, inside the cover, tape a crab leg. It will be a hit!



I haven't started promoting it yet, I figured I would post it on here before the official press release goes out. We are expecting to sell quite a few right out of the gate. I set up some national advertising and am working with comcast right now for some TV ads, nationally as well. I've done commercials for them in the past and they are going to hook me up with a good deal. yay!



Its the first and only of its kind. Yay! I've got the market cornered! lol

Who knows? It could even change someone's life in much the same way that The Secret changed Ari Brouillette's!
