The book of lost things

John Connolly

Do you want your very own book of lost things? Somewhere to put your very own items and stuff? Stuff that no one else should ever see? Or stuff that you’re afraid of? Everyone should buy this book, because “They say the king has a book, The Book of Lost things. It is his most prized possession.”   You can make your very own book! Get a blank book from us, leather bound and hand detailed, all you have to do is fill it with your very own stuff. For example, maybe you are afraid of Werewolves, just as the king in The Book of Lost Things was. You can draw a picture, or print one out and put it in there, and look at it every day until you realize there is nothing that scary about them. All you have to do is overcome that fear. And to do that, this book can help you. Just as it helped the King, “The book has value to me.” He says. Or it could help you memorize things; you can write down stuff that you need to know for school, work, or just life. You can put pictures of lost and loved ones, old places that mean a lot to you. This book, the book of lost things, is yours and only yours. It’s yours to keep and look at every day. This book could potentially contain your entire life.  Maybe your mother died when you were little, and you want to remember her forever, take a picture of when she was really really happy, or whichever picture best describes her, and put it in the book. You can remember her forever and always with a picture rather than a memory. Or maybe your mother is still alive, but you live far far away from her. You can take a recent picture of her and write a note to call her underneath it. You can talk to her every day because a book reminded you to do that. This book has the potential to start so many things in your life. Or if you choose not to do any of these things, you could put everything you hate, everything that has ever been wrong, anything that frightens you, and lock it away forever. You could burn it too, but the book is your life, every book in some way is alive, we just wake them up with the stories we put in them. So you can put your story in the book. You can fill it to the rim, all 200 pages, and set it free. It’s your book; it’s your life story. If you’re a parent with young children you could have them draw pictures in it, that way you can remember they will always be your baby. Or have a picture with them when they were a little baby, just born perhaps. You can do whatever you want with the book of lost things. It’s your book.

This Book would sell because it provides a state of mind for the people, it helps them to remember, it helps them to do whatever they want it to help them with. The audience this Book sells to would be the ones who have read The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly. This would help bring the book alive even more; you could do whatever you want with it, just like the king did. “He remembered the old king, and the loving way in which he had touched The Book.” The king put his everything in the book, everything he was before he became king, and all the things he never wanted to forget. The people could do this just the same and have the same effect that the king has.  The Book has the power to help change your life forever.
