The Tiny Book of Tiny Stories

　　組成浩瀚宇宙的最小單位並非一粒粒原子，而是一個個小故事！

　　繼《The Tiny Book of Tiny Stories》第一部廣受好評後，知名美國演員喬瑟夫‧高登-李維在其聯合創作網站hitRECord.org上再次集結眾人之智，透過引人入勝的文字與圖像細膩地述說一個個小故事。

　　喬瑟夫‧高登-李維先與團隊閱讀大量發表到網站上的創作，從近一萬五千篇作品中精選出62位創作者的作品，經過編輯、整理，進而完成如口袋般大小的精裝書《The Tiny Book of Tiny Stories: Volume 2》。

　　書中除了充滿魅力的文字，亦有線條俐落清新的手繪插畫。每則小故事言簡意賅，詩意十足。您可以輕鬆地用一分鐘讀完一篇，但故事的深意卻能讓人反覆咀嚼思量好幾天，是一部睿智又迷人的小書。

　　The universe is not made of atoms; it's made of tiny stories.

　　To create The Tiny Book of Tiny Stories: Volume 2 — "half short story collection, half communal poem" (Flavorwire) — Joseph Gordon-Levitt, known within the hitRECord.org community as RegularJOE, directs thousands of collaborators to tell tiny stories through words and art. With the help of the entire creative collective, Gordon-Levitt culls, edits, and curates the massive numbers of contributions into a finely tuned collection that is at once "ingeniously illustrated . . . witty [and] meaningful" (Entertainment Weekly). Once again, the "tiny" book, pocket-sized with a 4" x 6" trim, brings together art and voices from around the world to unite and tell stories that defy size.

　　Coming off the highly successful publication of Volume 1 (named a best book of the month by editors at Amazon in November 2011), the second book in the series features 62 contributors from the 14,946 contributions to the Tiny Stories collaboration on hitRECord.org. New contributions are already being accepted for Volume 3, at www.hitrecord.org/records/843281, scheduled for publication in Fall 2013 from It Books.

　　The Tiny Stories collaboration began in the spring of 2010 and continues to be a hive of activity. Artists submit their writing and illustrations, and are encouraged to edit and remix others' contributions for the tiny books. As with all of hitRECord's money-making productions, profits for the Tiny Stories series are split 50-50 between hitRECord and the book’s contributing artists.
