Is he going to give away all of this great reading and entertainment for free?
Yep, I am. You can keep on enjoying all of this great web page text and art for nuttin'.
Why? Love. Let's just leave it at that. However, I must admit to having a special
affection for those kind men and women that have been buying Adam of Antares
through amazon.com.
Thank you very, very, very, much. Though you deserve more, I'll stop there. I might
also mention that on my page there you can also find reviews, and my interview
Now,
for something a little different:
What is the ol' Magic Hairball?
You see, legend has it that he used to send aloft a single strand from his wooly,
fuzzy body and point whomever was fortunate enough to clasp him in their clammy little
mitts at the moment to the juiciest and finest waddymelons in the land. In other
words, he was the preeminent divining mechanism for waddymelon patches around. Our
lil' hairball, however, points the way to some of the coolest junk available from
Starduster Press, Yours Truly at eBay,
and amazon.com.
Check out these values, and buy some--if you're so inclined.
What do we have for you?
By now you've read the fifth installment of Adam of Arcturus, the
delightful tale for kids and those that are kids-at-heart, and you can't wait to
find out what happens. Well, you may have to for a while; however, you can obtain
Adam's first adventure book, Adam of Antares, now. One way is to buy
it from amazon.com,
another is to get it at eBay
using one of the red links on this page, or by going to their Web site and
typing in New Book & Stickers: Adam of Antares by Ron Ferguson
and entering a winning bid. However, the easiest way to there from here is by clicking
on the red links. Still, you can always buy it directly from Starduster
Press at:
Starduster Press
P.O. Box 173
Gore, OK 74435-0173
Adam of Antares, the first book in the series, has already completely
appeared on Common Scents Stardusterzine, so you may
want to find out how things all got started, but it's up to you. I won't be pushy.
However, if you want to know more . . . You do? Great! Remember you asked. Here goes.
Adam of Antares is a 40 page book with 20 black and white illustrations
about a 10-year-old boy's intergalactic journey to a fabulous planet with fascinating
aliens, a mysterious astronaut, a wonderful amusement park, and one astounding zoo.
It's approximately 5 inches by 7 1/2 inches and comes with a colorful, paperback
cover. And there's a bonus! Take the odyssey with Adam , and get a nifty souvenir
of your trip together. That's right. Every book comes with a stickers packet. Rest
easy, Mom and Dad; they're removable. Computer generated images on this web site
won't do the artwork justice, so you'll have to see it for yourself. True, it's not
in color, but it is the cat's pajamas just the same. Need I say more? Okay. Just
a couple of more comments. First, it's only $2.99 plus $1.49 for shipping
and handling. Second, I'll sign the the cover page if you order it directly from
Starduster Press. All you have to do is ask, and it will be my pleasure. Now,
you can join a boy who just met his greatest adventure, and enjoy your journey with
Adam of Antares.
Big gaseous planetoids! Did I mention
that Adam of Antares is also available from eBay?
I did? Okey smoky then, I'm saying it again. Click on one of those red links,
and you'll be taken to my About
Me page. In addition to the information about this Web site, you'll usually
find at least a half a dozen links to the things I have for sale there, and they're
often special rate packages. We even have a 2-4-1 sale going on where you
might win an Adam of Antares book along with an official t-shirt with
a starting bid price of only $9.95 plus $3.95 for shipping and handling,
and you still get the free stickers to boot! There's no reserve price on this item.
To join in on this auction you can type in Adam of Antares: New T-Shirt and
Book 2-4-1 Sale in one of their white search spaces to see one of the two
shirt designs featured each week, or go to my page there. To be perfectly honest,
I don't get as much of a profit this way, but that's all right. I figure that a little
of something is better than a lot of nothing. Why do I make this sacrifice? It's
for you, the customer, and for your convenience. They'll even let you use credit
cards! You can use PayPal at eBay.
Plus, you get it from a company you can depend on for great service; therefore, you
get the same great book, the same great stickers, and at the same great price. Summing
up: it's great! If you haven't located one of those red links yet, I'll make
it easy.

Here's a partial preview of the 11" by 14" illustrated Bible verse
for Psalm 127:3-5!
I have the answer for you. Please, stay with me for a moment. They're illustrated
Bible verse posters that you can color! The Family Way: LaminArtist
Posters can be used over and over. Just color, erase, and color again. Dry
erase markers and erasers work best, but other types of markers may also be used.
Finished posters can be trimmed and placed in regular 11" x 14" frames
found at most retail/discount department stores. Each package comes with two posters.
There are four sets of these posters in all, Galleries 1, 2, 3, and 4. Gallery 1
has the verses Philippians 4:8 and Colossians 3:23. Gallery 2 contains the verses
Job 37:14 and Psalm 127:3-5. Gallery 3 comes with the verses Philippians 4:11 and
Psalm 127:1. Also, there's Gallery 4 which has the verses Romans 9:16 and Psalm 139:14.
These posters sets are $3.99 for each gallery, and there is a $2.00
shipping and handling charge for the first package with an additional $.50
charge for each added item in the same shipment envelope. Insurance is an additional
$1.30 if you want it.
The Family Way: Color-4-Yourself Posters
are printed on heavy cardstock and come with 10 washable, non-toxic markers to get
you started; however, these posters are not reusable. If you're a child or just a
child at heart, you can now be part of the creative process when you complete these
illustrated Bible verse posters that are suitable for framing in 11" x 14"
frames. Then, you can proudly hang them up around your home in accordance with Deuteronomy
6:9: ". . . and thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on they
gates." Each package comes with four posters. There are two sets of these posters
in all, Galleries A and B. Gallery A comes with the verses Philippians 4:8, Romans
9:16, Psalm 127:3-5, and Job 37:14. Gallery B has the verses Philippians 4:11, Psalm
139:14, Psalm 127:1, and Colossians 3:23. The price of these posters sets are
$4.99 for each gallery and the $2.00 shipping and handling charge for
the first package. Once again, there is only a $.50 shipping and handling
charge for each additional item sent in the same shipment envelope, so it pays to
order as many as you can in the same shipment, as you can see. All packages will
be mailed to you via the United States Postal Service.
Why are they called
The Family Way? Well, it's because each picture features one or more
parents interacting in a loving or humorous way with one or more of their children.
Look for a different featured illustrated Bible verse poster on this page in each
new edition of Common Scents Stardusterzine.
Use the order form supplied below to order your posters. First, run it off on
your computer printer. Next, fill it out by checking the appropriate blanks. Then,
add the correct amount needed to pay for your order--along with the proper amount
for shipping and handling--in cash, check, or money order with the printout form.
Please send only forms of United States currency. Finally, mail the form and
(U.S.) legal tender along with your address in an envelope to the following address.
The Starduster Press address once again is:
Please give us three to four weeks for delivery. It's not because we're that slow, but you know the U.S.P.S., and things have not improved lately; however, with all that's been going on, we should cut them some slack. Remember: Postage is always going up. Why wait?
And now that order form I promised.
Oh, Daddy-o, I want me some of those phantastical posters.. This/these are the ones I want:

The only part of this page we really need is the part from the name and address grid to the total amount section printed directly above this sentence. Cut that part out, and it should fit conveniently in an envelope. Well, yeah, you might have to fold it a little depending on the size of envelope you use. So what? Now, ain't that too cool! Oh yeah, don't forget to include your name and address. You know, for those postal workers. We sure don't want to make them disgruntled now; do we?
We've got something new we've started producing, t-shirts with nifty art and copy featuring images from Common Scents Stardusterzine. There will be a great one featured in each installment of this e-zine which you can order directly from us at Starduster Press, or you can buy the ones featured each week on eBay. They will run $8.95 to $9.95 most of the time, but we will have special sales on them occasionally. Though the sizes will usually be XL, a size that can be worn as is or shrunk to fit--since they are usually 100% cotton--after all, we will probably be able to get it for you in 2XL or 3XL for an extra dollar. Why? Well, these sizes cost us more, mister. Big/tall sizes and colors are subject to availability, of course. Shipping and handling on each t-shirt will be $3.95. Don't blame us! We don't know why it's so high. It just is, and you can't ship them by Media Mail. Sorry. Here's this edition's tee:
From the thinking-man's pages of "What Stinks?" found on this very Web site, comes this humorous pocket-t that's not all that far from the truth considering the recent Big Brother policies recently implemented under the guise of Homeland Security (i.e. the Patriot Act). Based on the famous World War I recruiting poster by James Montgomery Flagg, this dapper, modernized Uncle Sam carefully listens in on another unsuspecting American citizen's private conversation. Who knows? It could be you! This Barney Bee Pocket Tee comes in azure (light blue) and is the ever-popular XL. Look for the official Barney Bee on the front pocket. On the back it reads: "Uncle Sam Says: I Wiretap YOU for U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft!" with the eavesdropping American icon shown above. The shirt is a new, soft, preshrunk, 100% cotton t-shirt with a comfort tag, but you know how cotton is about shrinking. It's yours for $8.95 plus $3.95 for shipping and handling from:
I know this sounds obvious, but please be sure to include your name and address with your cash, check, or money order. We don't recommend cash, by the way; find a way to conceal it if you send it. We also recommend insurance, but it's optional, and it's $1.30. Allow three to four weeks for delivery through the U.S. Mail. We do ship the t-shirts by Priority Mail, so at least they should get there a lot faster than the items sent by Media Mail.
Yes, Dumplin', as a matter of fact you may. They are for sale on eBay.
You can find them by searching by name. That is, type in their little white search
space 8 Family Way LaminArtist Posters Church/School Special where
you might get all eight posters at the opening bid price of $9.99!
Whatever the winning bid ends of being, it's a lot of fun to participate in the auctions
there. Just don't bid more than you can afford! Hey! Want to be sure you get the
poster special and right away? Then use their Buy It Now feature and get them
for $11.99 plus $2.00 for shipping and handling by Media Mail;
however, you might prefer to type in All 8 Family Way Color-4-Yourself Posters
Home Special. Again, you just could get all eight posters with a winning
bid, but they are not laminated. At this low price you get one
starter package of free washable markers for an astounding $8.99,
should you get the winning bid. There is no reserve on either package. That is unless
you want to be sure you get the package special and you want them right away and
you don't want to bid. Then use the Buy It Now feature and get them for
$9.99. Shipping and handling is also $2.00 by Media Mail. Sure, Media
Mail is a little slower, but the savings are worth it! Right?
You can also
go to my About Me page
by clicking on the red links on this page and then click on those links with
the item numbers by the name of the product you're interested in buying and it will
take you to that item to browse it. You don't have to buy unless you actually want
to! So? What have you got to lose? It will really take you there, guys. I know because
I've tried it. Our featured t-shirts work the same. Though there are presently 20
different shirt designs we are presently selling, only two or three will be up for
sale each week. There are even some with The Family Way designs
on them. Type in Barney Bee's Tees, and you'll be shown the ones up
for grabs each week. Happy bidding! Just remember: Barney Bee's Tees are
the Bee's Knees!!! I like that! Now, it doesn't matter at all to me whether you
order them directly from me or at eBay.
Remember: You can use a credit card with them through PayPal, though. I guess
that's neat-o, Cupcake, and I've been verified by them as legit and all that. So
what if they take a little bit off the top? That's fine. Oh yeah, get this. Let me
say it one more time. The easiest way to find the links to all of the posters
and t-shirts for sale each week in one place, however, is to go to my About
Me page on their site, and then you can pick any of the underlined item numbers
on which to bid or buy. Click on any of the red highlighted link words in
this paragraph or the big link below, and you're there, Katz and Chix! Why don't
you head over there at your earliest convenience. I should still be here when you
get back. You can see more of the poster art, too. Great, huh? Okay, here's that
link:
Turn to the Magic Hairball for future deals on buttons, stickers, posters, and clothing. Jumpin' Jupiter! Who knows what all! You'll just have to watch where that ol' tress is pointing. After all, IT'S MAA-JACK-A-RIFFIC, kiddos!!!
