Pre-Order Ryan Adams' Book, Get Bonus Chapbook

As previously reported, Ryan Adams is dropping books like they're albums. Well, maybe not quite, but he is getting geared up for the release of his second poetic volume, Hello Sunshine, which Akashic Books has just made available for pre-order.

"This collection was a beautiful way for me to wrap up my narrative verse style of writing before I move into writing short stories and novels," Adams said in a statement. "Maybe this book really is more about my connection to my senses and to the romantic. Where I was scared to read Infinity Blues after I wrote it, Hello Sunshine makes me want to eat ice cream. This book is about, quite simply, how it might feel to surrender to a love. It will reinforce everyone's fear that I am smarter than them."

The pre-order is going for $50, plus $10 for priority mail shipping with delivery confirmation for domestic orders, but overseas orders will be charged an extra $27.95. It will include a hardcover edition of Hello Sunshine and a bonus chapbook by Adams (a limited edition available only as part of the pre-order) tentatively titled Pink Magic.
