LAST MINUTE GIFTS-- GIVE THE GIFT OF READING WITH NANCY DREW AND HARDY BOYS IN JAPANESE MANGA FORMAT

THEY SURE AREN'T YOUR GRANDPA AND GRANDMA'S NANCY DREW AND HARDY BOYS...the new versions by Papercutz (www.papercutz.com) are amazingly trendy because not only are they in full color graphic novel format BUT they are in an American -anime like look that reminds us of Japanese Manga.

Great last minute gift -- Hardy Boys in a new graphic novel full color style! See a preview at www.papercutz.com

The Nancy Drew graphic novels from Papercutz Publishers www.papercutz.com -- sure are not your grandma's Nancy Drew!!

Here's the complete press release from the publisher -- it's a great chance to share some American favorites with four generations -- Tweens, Parents, Grandparents and Great Grandparents!

HARDY BOYS AND NANCY DREW IN AN ALL NEW JAPANESE INSPIRED ‘MANGA’ COMICS STYLE?! TWEENS ARE LOVIN’ ‘EM! PERFECT FOR LAST MINUTE GIFTS.

New look books provide perfect break for gamers and couch potatoes of all ages  Check out www.papercutz.com for free previews!

Still looking for last-minute gifts for the always hard-to-please 8-14 year olds on your gift list? Consider classics that now come in a trendy new look. For generations, parents and grandparents and older brothers and sisters thrilled to the adventures of The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew, Girl Detective. Now you can share your love of these tales with a new generation of readers in an American anime/manga style graphic novels (comics in books) that makes them hot for Xmas  gift giving from NY publisher, Papercutz (www.papercutz.com).

WHY THE TRENDY LOOK?

Why the new trendy look for Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys? "We're living in a very visual age and kids have a lot of different distractions — from the Internet, to videos, to video games, to TV and DVDs," says Papercutz founder Terry Nantier, “We’re using a point of view and a style that kids know and understand.” If you’re not familiar with graphic novels, check out these two, which combine classic characters with illustrations and word balloons, like traditional comicbooks. The pocket-size Papercutz series is drawn in the style of the popular Japanese comics, so that’s why it’s called American Manga.

PRESS LOVES 'EM

And the press has been enthusiastic in its coverage, from USA TODAY to the NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE, NEWSWEEK, TEEN NEWSWEEK, SAN FRANCSICO CHRONICLE, LOS ANGELES TIMES, etc, etc. The word is getting out about the exciting all-new Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys for the kids of today! As a result, the first Nancy Drew Graphic Novel has gone back to press 2 times for tens of thousands of copies sold.

THIS IS NOT YOUR GRANDPA’s HARDY BOYS!

But remember this is not your grandparent’s Nancy Drew or Hardy Boys! According to a recent report in USA TODAY, “ longtime fans will hardly recognize their old favorites. The Hardy Boys have the wide-eyed look of traditional manga characters. So do Nancy Drew and friends Bess and George” The new generation of readers will follow the adventures of the new Hardy Boys who solve crimes with the help of the Internet and download their homework onto PDAs.  Papercutz, “The Demon of River Heights” is Nancy Drew’s first graphic novel and retails at $7.95 for the paperback and $12.95 for a collectable hard-cover version. The Hardy Boys graphic novel series begins with “The Ocean of Osyria” also available at the same prices as Nancy Drew in paperback and hard cover versions.

FREE PRINTOUTS OF NEW NANCY DREW AND HARDY BOYS ONLINE

Nantier encourages parents and grandparents giving gift cards this holiday season to include a print-out of the Papercutz preview of the new graphic novel pages from Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys by going to www.papercutz.com and downloading the pages from the samples of the two updated novels. He says it’s a great way to encourage Tweens to spend their holiday gift money wisely on these new classics that will provide hours of reading enjoyment. And what could be better than to give the gift of reading to families around the world. Who knows mom, dad or grandpa and grandma can spend the holiday weekend doing what kids say they do all the time when they use the popular text messaging phrase PLOS (parent looking over shoulder) but this time the Tweens will have their heads looking at books not just computer screens or gaming consoles!

STILL TIME TO PICKUP AT YOUR LOCAL BARNES & NOBLE OR COMIC BOOK STORE.

SEE A PREVIEW at www.papercutz.com

The graphic novel versions, with all-new stories, not adaptations, and in full-color, of The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew are available in trade paperback or hardcover at your favorite Barnes and Noble or online at www.amazon.com. For a preview of the new look go to www.papercutz.com.

BT plans major iTV push (courtesy advanced-television.com) BT is planning to put iTV advertising at the heart of its IPTV proposition with the launch of advanced red-button services. It is planning to let advertisers promote their products via highly targeted commercials around the on-demand film, music and TV content that BT plans to deliver to viewers in addition to the 32 Freeview channels.

HOLLYWOOD2020 BLOGGER JOYCE SCHWARZ MEETS 'FREE STUFF/MONEY" GURU MATTHEW LESKO

HOLLYWOOD2020 BLOGGER JOYCE SCHWARZ CAUGHT UP WITH 'FREE MONEY/STUFF' GURU MATTHEW LESKO IN THE LOBBY AT THE AD-TECH CONFERENCE IN NEW YORK CITY. Schwarz was at the conclave to see what's new in interactive advertising and to serve as a VIP judge for the Ad Tech awards. Lesko was in the lobby holding court for his many fans and Joyce and Matthew chatted briefly. Lesko was as zany looking as ever but as smart as can be. (see photo from his website www.lesko.com) in this blog.

Matthew Lesko "guru of free stuff and money" at www.lesko.com

LESKO's LIBRARY OF GOODIES & COSTUME -- BRANDING WITH POLKA DOTS & QUESTION MARKS.....

Schwarz had met Lesko years ago at Comdex in the Compton's booth I believe when he was launching a CD ROM on his goodies which include a whole library of books and reference material now. Check out the photo in this blog and at his website-- you'll see how Lesko's used his costume and even his Lexus as part of his branding package.

  Lesko's wardrobe is as much a part of his appeal as his frantic message - colorful clothes, like his suit covered with neon question marks, his mismatched bright socks, wild bow ties and a seemingly inexhaustible collection of eyeglasses in every color of the rainbow. He even drives the only Lexus with yellow polka dots. Matthew loves his work according to his website.

MORE THAN 70 BOOKS:

Matthew Lesko has published over 70 books showing everyday people how to get free services and products from the federal government. He has had two New York Times best-sellers and two national best sellers, Getting Yours and Information USA. In addition, Lesko has twice received the prestigious "Best Reference Book of the Year" award from the American Library Association and is a former syndicated consumer columnist for Good Housekeeping, The New York Times Syndicate and The Chicago Tribune.

Check out Matthew Lesko's website at www.lesko.com -- you can even sign up for his free newsletter.  

FREE MONEY $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

His company, Information USA, publishes massive reference books like Free Money for Entrepreneurs and Free Money to Change Your Life as well as popular consumer books: Free Stuff for Seniors, Gobs and Gobs of Free Stuff, Free Health Care and Free Legal Help.

SWAG COMES IN MAIL TO HOLLYWOOD2020 -- even before we had a chance to post info about Joyce and Matthew's meeting at Ad-Tech in the lobby/registration area at the NY Hilton, a big box came in the mail from Matthew's company with what else-- a sampling of his best books. In the biz we call that Swag (Check out our other blogs about SWAG) --Sealed With A Gift (SWAG). Thanks Matthew...we'll be reading those over the holidays and checking out what free stuff we'd love for such efforts as:

1) Setting up our www.futurework.com website and posting info about Joyce Schwarz books such as "SUCCESSFUL RECAREERING" and offering special grants/incentives and free money and stuff for those career clients of Joyce's that are venturing into new arenas. Check out the book at Amazon.com -- "SUCCESSFUL RECAREERING" -- or look more at www.joycecom.com. for details.

2) Revitalizing STAR*COURSE -- how to sell your project and break into Hollywood at Any age -- the class that Joyce has offered to more than 2000 students in Hollywood including Hollywood producers, writers and agents and actors.

3) Launching a new website "LOW VISION/HIGH HOPES" chronicling the efforts Joyce and her mom Ann are dealing with as her mom ventures into a strange and scary world with low vision resulting from a stroke and macular degeneration. We'll tell you more about that later and how technology and entertainment may have real relevance in the quests to help millions of people who are or will be dealing with low vision problems in the future.

ZANY PIX OF BLOGGER JOYCE SCHWARZ -- not to be outdone-- Joyce Schwarz, blogger of Hollywood2020 and founder of JCOM (www.joycecom.com) Hollwood marketing and business development firm celebrating it's 20th year of business in 2006 -- is thrilled to show her zaniest photo of herself from Ad-Tech -- thanks to GOOGLE for their great photographer and all of those fun costume ideas.

Joyce Schwarz on-location in NYC at Ad-Tech showing that life has much to offer-- many rubber chickens and an occasional award in Hollywood & BEYOND....

MORE RUBBER CHICKENS THAN OSCARS(TM)?

In one hand Joyce Schwarz holds her own "OSCAR" (TM) and another well, a rubber chicken -- which is a little bit like life is in Hollywood and beyond--- lots of rubber chicken dinners, and an occasional award

We'll be back with you about more info we find in Matthew's books after the holidays -- check out what you can find now at his site www.lesko.com.
