"What do you give someone who is young, a bit media savvy, who has an eye for humour and design? Billed as an adventure in postcards, From Sometimes Love Beth is a quirky visual feast, the result of central Australian Beth Sometimes' quest to send someone, somewhere a postcard for 365 consecutive days. Its funny, its gorgeous and it is going to make the right person very happy."

Book Description:

From her new home in Central Australia, on the eve of 2008, Beth Sometimes set herself a challenge: to write a postcard to somebody, everybody, anybody and anything every day for the next year.

Collected here are postcards to friends, exes, people she'd met in passing, strangers, rivers, mountains and just about anything she wanted to reach out and touch. Most she designed and illustrated herself, and each contains a piece of writing of some significance; moments in time and personal reflections that create their own poetic narrative.

From Sometimes Love Beth also includes tear-out postcards, plus 20 challenges and tips to inspire readers to set off on their own postal adventures. More than a compendium of postcards, the book explores the themes of isolation and connection. It weaves a world of rectangular emotions and cardboarderly camaraderie, where giant ideas roam miniature communiques and the personal becomes public - just like on a postcard itself.
