BOOK NEWS: Signed Pre-Orders, Wayne White Art Giveaway & Sept. 14th Live Event in Nashville
August 18, 2024·3 min
The host opens by directing listeners to the Cocaine and Rhinestones website where a link tree page consolidates all the news. He addresses the most frequently asked question first: how to get a signed copy of the book. The solution is a signed adhesive book plate system for US pre-orders — listeners submit their order information via a form, and can optionally request a brief personalized inscription. The host clarifies this only applies to pre-orders and that the window is approximately two weeks. He also mentions making a short video explaining what a book plate is and why the process works this way, noting it addresses questions like whether he can write something about Chapel Roan being better than Taylor Swift. All form submissions are automatically entered into a giveaway for four prize packages, each including a production sample of original Wayne White chapter illustrations from inside the book, described as one-of-a-kind. The host recommends watching the video to see what the artwork looks like. The episode closes with details about a September 14th event at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville. The event features about an hour of conversation between the host and Allison Moorer in the Ford Theater, followed by a book signing, followed by a display of all of Wayne White's original illustrations in the Haley Gallery. The host emphasizes that Wayne will sell the originals at the event and this will be the only time they are all shown together. He suggests people attending Americana Fest reserve spots early.
