I need your help to find a specific present for my dad

nice_squirrel [Edit] [Delete] 11 replies 16:59, 27 March '09

Google has failed me, but it might just be me.

I want to get a t-shirt, which has the Penguin book cover of On the Road on it. It's orange, Alex James wore one in the 90s, and they seemed to be popular then, but now I can't find one ANYWHERE. It needs to be as small as possible men's size, and new or second hand will do. I need it by 4th April. Anyone find me one?

  • Seems you're not the only one with this problem..

    Have YOU tried ringing up Penguin and asking to speak to their promotions department, hmmm?

    Is custom printing an option, you know, ignoring copyright issues and such?

    • oh, I have not, maybe I could try that!

      nice_squirrel @bleak | 27 Mar '09, 17:29 | X
      • and custom printing could be an option, but I'd have to design it I guess

        I don't think I could just give them the book, could I? Not that I even have the book in that edition.

        • Is it one of these?

          This one? http://www.books.rack111.com/jkbooks/otr_aus_penguin_2008.jpg

          Don't know what image size they need for custom printing...

          bleak @nice_squirrel | 27 Mar '09, 17:38 | X
          • it's the one you linked to, yep

            nice_squirrel @bleak | 27 Mar '09, 17:45 | X
            • That might be big enough to get printed onto a simple, white t-shirt.

    • She pops up everywhere...

    • they used to sell them in camden market, in the indoor bit next to dingwalls.

      afterskoolklub @gowman | 27 Mar '09, 17:39 | X
      • ooh, how long ago?

        that's a good idea, I'll look tomorrow.

        nice_squirrel @afterskoolklub | 27 Mar '09, 17:46 | X
    • ooh, that's nice

      maybe I'll keep that as an alternative if I can't find this one.
