Ten Speed Press

Right.

Ten Speed Press is an imprint that specializes in high quality, heavily illustrated premium books.

Think art books, cookbooks, that sort of thing.

Got it.

And then Pim and I talked about it and Pim had run into Aaron Wehner and Molly Birnbaum.

Erin is the executive vice president of Ten Speed Press, and Molly is editor in chief of Ten Speed Press.

We had dinner with Erin and talked about the book, and he said they were very interested.

We thought, you know, we can sell this project ourselves for a package that would be worth our while.

[laughs]

No, and it's Ten Speed Press, so, which means you're gonna be everywhere.

Yeah.

I mean, they're part of r-

We have one last entry on this list, and it is a massive jarring departure from everything else we've discussed.

Pat the Zombie, a cruel adult spoof by Ten Speed Press.

A very fitting cynical conclusion to this journey.

For anyone who didn't grow up with it, this is a grim parody of the beloved classic children's book Pat the Bunny.

I'm very qualified to answer this.

And I, I think like where I work, Ten Speed Press and Clarkson Potter, I work closely with those two imprints, and a long history of publishing, um, restaurant cookbooks, uh, particularly, you know, at Ten Speed Press.

Like, I mean, I think of like books like, uh, Menresa, you know, like-

Okay

We are going to be looking at, I think, a pretty good book, though, this week.

We're going to be reviewing the latest publication from 10 Speed Publishing.

It's entitled Heroes Feast, Legends of the Table, an Official D&D Cookbook.

So this is, they don't exactly...

A- all right.

So in another piece of D&D news, uh, and again, from EN World, it says, "Illustrator Jason Bradley Thompson announced that an upcoming book from Penguin Random House and Ten Speed Press is gonna feature a collection of humorous isometric maps celebrating classic D&D, uh, throughout its history.

Thompson has produced many of the ma- maps over the years," which I can certainly vouch for.

They...

So I never design without looking at the competition and making sure that it's doing its job.

It's reminding me in your post about covers that Kelly Booth from 10 Speed Press called covers a built-in ad for the book.

Yeah.

How did you feel about that statement?

And as part of that, because I had already kind of been drawing some recipe comics for I Think You're Sotham, I drew a bunch of their recipes for their book in a comic book format.

And then when that came out was 2016, so it's published by Ten Speed Press.

who also published, around the same time, Robin Ha's Cooked Korean.

Yeah, yeah.
