I'm very happy to announce that my new book, MOON KISSES, is finished and the first printing
of 15 copies has sold out.  The response has been absolutely wonderful.
Steven Burns, author of
Advanced Photoshop CS, past Pres. San Diego Art Institute, and current Pres.  
San Diego Photoshop Users Group said:
"He (Richard) truly is communicating with visual forms that are uniquely his. His work combines
several traditions including photographic, painting, and conceptual approaches blended
as one unified voice. His book shares a refreshing look at digital as an art form."

"Extraordinary!  The imagination and vision of the work is breathtaking."
For the past 20 years or so I have been an avid "quote collector".  I can't read a book without a pencil in my hand and a notebook nearby so the book
became a natural merging of two things that I love.  MOON KISSES consists of twenty pages of my artwork combined with a selection of quotes
that I hope will inspire, uplift, and possibly create a vision of a new reality. It really is a wonderful coffee table book!
Many of you have already received an e mail from My Publisher inviting you to view an on-line version of  MOON KISSES.  If you have not
received that e mail please contact me and I will arrange for you to receive one.
I have not set up my Pay Pal acct. yet, so if you would like to purchase a copy the price is 40$ + 5$ S&H.  You can mail a check for 45$ made out to
me to:  Richard Cook,  1118 E. 5th Ave.,  Escondido, CA 92025 and I will send you a copy ASAP.  If you e mail me first I can get your order out
right away.
