Ten Speed Press is 35!
(But everyone says we still look 29)

Hello Phil and Ten Speeders,
Happy Birthday, as a former Ten Speeder I wish you well, may you have many, many more years of publishing.
When I travel I'am always looking for Ten Speed and Celestial Arts books in the Air Port Gift Shops and in Specialty Stores in any City I happen to be in.
Ten Speed is a very special Publishing Company, your books get better every year, keep up the good work.
Sincerely,
Beverly Beasley
Happy Birthday! You don't look a day older than when we first met.
Best regards,
Diana Savastano

Dearest Ten Speed,
With such a romantic, seductive, and totally irresistible proposal, how could anyone say "no"? You have spoken so well of yourself (oops - bike joke), I feel the need to gear up (aaugh! Another! It's a compulsion!) to a response. First, I know you folks out there are aware of my undying loyalty - I could never shift to another...uhoh, I mean, change to another publishing house. I always plan to pedal my ideas to Nicole and Co. without hesitation. Everyone I've worked with at Ten Speed has always kept my creative juices pumped. In fact, I really got a kick standing around and shooting the breeze with Laura and Summer last year at IRA - then, they went on to treat me and Edith to dinner, where they found out I not only loved margaritas but could handle bars with the best of them. Considering the love of people, books, ideas, imagination, and supportive energy I've always gotten from Tricycle, how could such a union go wrong?
Marriage, you say?
And you wheely, wheely mean it?
I accept.
Love and congratulations to a company that's as fun as it is fierce, as dynamic as it is daring, and good to go at one speed, let alone ten!

Congratulations, Ten Speed,
You will certainly have another 35, and I hope I'm with you for most of them!

Phil Wood and all at Ten Speed:
May your bottoms be always up. May you blow all your candles out and breathe them back in! May God in Her infinite wisdom see fit to bless you with even greater encm ..encoium ... encomimus ... Let me get back to you on that. Chester Aaron
I realize this reply might not be going to a real person, but that was the best publisher promotion email I have ever received. Very clever! I'm afraid I am already spoken for, but should things go south... I will be in touch. I'm going to go right out and look at your new website.
Thanks for the humor,
Melba Tomeo
Nicely done! Congratulations to you all. As a former Ten Speeder, will you save me a piece of cake?!

It seems like decades ago, [solar]catty-corner over Solano at Gray's Book Co. that we used to call you guys at 10-Speed the Book Patrol. Retailers come and go. But the Salvation Navy sails on! Best for another 35 years.
