Mystery Book Release "Party": Do It For The Bit

Something a little bit different for you guys. We got a very interesting email from one of our publishers, requesting that we purchase a "modest quantity" (???) of an upcoming release... with no other information provided. After a brief team discussion, we decided to go all out and host a little unveiling "party" (basically, come hang out after work and unbox it together... with wine). Preorder the book at the link below, and support joy and whimsy as our transition to our new space fast approaches! Your ticket covers the cost of a copy of the new book.
