A Million Pageviews -- Here We Come!

As I type this, all-time pageviews for this blog -- at least since we started tracking them on Google -- are at 748,884. That is nearly 3/4 of a million! Not bad for a blog obsessively -- and narrowly -- focused on Jack Kerouac (and The Beat Generation). The next big, big milestone will be 1,000,000 pageviews, and, believe me, we'll be celebrating that auspicious occasion.

For the immediate future, though, once we hit 750,000, I'll be giving away a signed copy of my book to the first person to respond to my post about hitting that particular milestone. So stay tuned for that announcement. We get several hundred pageviews on a typical day, so it won't be too long a wait....

In the meantime, you can get your very own copy of The Beat Handbook by clicking below.

Reviews of The Beat Handbook

Gerald Nicosia, author of the acclaimed Kerouac biography Memory Babe, said The Beat Handbook is "full of Jack's heart."

Jared Randall, author of the excellent book of poetry, Apocryphal Road Code, said this about The Beat Handbook: "Sometimes a book comes along at just the right time. In my wandering pack of experiences, I find they often do. Enter The Beat Handbook by Rick Dale."

Kenneth Morris, Kerouacian extraordinaire, said this:
"I just finished reading Rick Dale's beautiful utterance and call to action of Kerouac mind-set and zen sensibilities. It made me laugh and reflect on my own life and road I have naturally grooved into after absorbing the Kerouac canon. The road less traveled always had my name on it. And that has made all the difference. The Beat Handbook 100 Days of Kerouactions reaffirms the attitudes and ideology that made the Beats and Kerouac the important men of ideas that America (and the world) thirsted for, needed, and swallowed whole. Beautiful, absorbing, Top Ten whipsmart from my articulate, tender-hearted friend and fellow traveler. Highly recommended."
