/24-7PressRelease/ - SANTA FE, NM, November 04, 2006 -- BelleCora Press has announced the pre-publication sale of I Heard it on Oprah...Wisdom & Inspiration for Living. Scheduled for release and shipment on November 30, the spiral bound volume is more than a book of quotes. Editor and designer, Martie LaCasse, has carefully selected quotations for I Heard it on Oprah...Wisdom & Inspiration for Living and created an appealing format that allows the book to be what the user wishes. From an appointment book to a journal, a sketch book to a keepsake, I Heard it on Oprah was inspired by the host and guests of the popular Oprah Winfrey Show, but it is not a product of the show or of Harpo, Inc. or of any affiliate entity. All proceeds for sales of the book are earmarked in 2006-2007 by the designer and publishers for Gulf Coast Hurricane Relief.
"I wanted to produce a collection of quotes from the show that honored the integrity of the show, its host and guests, and the meaning it's had for so many people worldwide. I wanted a gift that would enhance the lives of those who receive it and a book that would not be bound by the calendar or for a particular use, as would a date book. After the tsunami in 2004 and the hurricanes along the Gulf of Mexico in 2005, I wanted to design a product that could create funds for humanitarian relief. The concept of I Heard it on Oprah came to me in the middle of the night, as such a completely developed idea and design that I had to take it seriously." Read more about LaCasse's inspiration for the project on her blog at http://www.writemex.blogspot.com or on the publisher's website.
LaCasse went on to say that the spiral binding allows the book to be opened flat on a table or desk to any page, ideal for display or use as a guest book or a book you get a little something from as you move about home or office. The cover and page stock are durable. It is a volume that will last for years, or that will endure rough treatment as a sketch book or travel journal. More information on the design and sample pages and covers can be seen on the publisher's website, http://www.BelleCora.com.
A spokesman for BelleCora Press said, "The flexible design means that I Heard it on Oprah...Wisdom & Inspiration for Living can be marketed year around and for many years without revision. Profits will be assigned to organizations already providing relief to Gulf Coast Hurricane victims. We will review the need in late 2007 and determine where proceeds for 2008's sales will go. Most likely there will still be a need in that area. However, profit from sales of this project will always go to humanitarian relief."
I Heard it on Oprah...Wisdom & Inspiration for Living is available from the publisher at 20% off the cover price during the pre-publication sale through November 20. Cover price is set at $14.95. Shipping is by U.S. priority mail. Go to the publisher's website, http://www.BelleCora.com, to take advantage of the pre-publication sale.
