Get Stoned and Read This Book

by Gordon G. Gourd

"The coffee table book for pot-smokers." That's right. GET STONED AND READ THIS BOOK. A book entirely conceived and executed under the influence of marijuana. Lots of marijuana. Written by the creative partnership known as Gordon G. Gourd, GET STONED is the culmination of five+ years of binging. Shot by Mr. Clancy, penned by Mr. Winter, GET STONED has been a labor of love. The book is self-published by Gordon G. Gourd, Inc. because established publishers felt the book was 'too esoteric'. It's a pot book. It's supposed to be esoteric. Publishers also felt that the title was too progressive for the likes of Barnes and Noble, and in order to sign us up, we would have to at least change the layout of the cover. Gordon felt the compromise was too great. "Screw it," we said. "Let's do it ourselves." Six months later, we've got books. Printed through Acid Test Productions in California (publisher of many pieces on the Grateful Dead), the book itself is oversized, 10"x10", 72pp, with both full color and black and white imagery, printed on high-end glossy paper. The production quality is top-notch. The book itself is a series of loosely related full page spreads, each with a different image and idea, all created for the stoner by the stoner. It's some pretty whacked stuff.
