Rating:  Summary: Buy this book! Review: Even if you don't journal and have no intention of doing so, buy this little book and Dan's other one (How To Make A Journal of Your Life). Carry them around with you and read them over and over, and sink into the words and drawings. Then pay attention to your own life, each moment, whether you choose to document any of it or not.

Rating:  Summary: Flip-Flop-Crazy In Love With "Moonlight Chronicles" Review: From my own journal...::wink:: Last night I finished reading a book called the "Moonlight Chronicles". I am so flip-flop-crazy in love with that book!!! I first got hooked when I saw an ad for Simple Shoes. Dan Price was the artist du jour for Simple's catchy, low-tech ads. This particular ad featured one of Dan's drawings of a tennis shoe and I, being a one-brain-celled person who is easily influenced by offhanded ad campaigns, became interested in Simple, so I called & asked for a catalogue. (This was before the Internet. ::Gasp!:: Was there ever, ever such a thing?!!!) The girl that answered the customer service line said, "We don't have a catalogue per se..." She paused, probably trying to describe their catalogue. Finally she gave up & said, "I'll send you what we have, OK?" Their catalogue turned out to be a paper copy of "Moonlight Chronicles, Issue 18", one of Dan's "drawing journals". Simple had comandeered one of Dan's "Moonlight Chronicles" and had interpersed their shoe ads within the pages of this precious journal. I never did get a hold of other issues of "Moonlight Chronicles", but that Issue 18 sure did get a beating. I've read that thing front-to-back at least 4,000 times and I carried it with me everywhere. I can't even begin to describe it, but "Moonlight Chronicles" completely suits me because it is full of wonder & honesty & inspriation...and travel! This man camps and hikes and climbs mountains and generally tries to become one with nature. On his adventures, he keeps a journal of drawings and bits of flowers... I just love it. When Dan published an issue of "Moonlight Chronicles" in full-color-glory, I immediately added it to my ........... A gargantuan "THANK YOU" to my friend, Malice!!! She bought it for me ........... & is my hero! I don't think she understood just how much I really wanted to get my hands on that book. I love it & it has brought me so much happiness. I know!--> It sounds so corny, but I can't help it. What can I say? I'm quirky and I like things that are out of the ordinary. Ironically, the bookmark I have been using for "Moonlight Chronicles" is one designed by Mary Engelbreit. It says, "Don't Look Back", and has a drawing of a little girl wearing a straw hat. She's got her little, bundled 'kerchief on a stick slung over her shoulder and she's at a fork in the road. One of the street signs points to the right and says "Not An Option". The other sign points to the left and says, "Life." Which path do you think she chose?
Rating:  Summary: living life Review: I started reading moonlight chronicles about seven years ago. Dan's style of drawing and his attention to detail in life and art are addictive and inspiring. I am so glad to see his books available on the open market. Reading his work makes you feel alive and makes you want to get back to the basics of living again.
Rating:  Summary: MAKING YOUR PERSONAL JOURNAL A MAIN INGREDIENT IN YOUR LIFE Review: The Moonlight Chronicles are a journaling concept I've been working on since picking up a camera and becoming a photojournalist back in 1980. There was a vague idea i had that kept leading me towards the creation of an ongoing personal journal that used photos, writing,and drawings to document the world around me. Begun in 1993, the first 15 issues were self published and had a small subscriber base. Issues 15-25 were published by the Simple shoe company and spread far and wide. This current book is the first full color version of the Chronicles and was culled from my 10 latest sketch books. The entire 20 year journey has lead me to what the Buddhists call "Living in the moment",and now I spend my days in childhood bliss (when the phone isn't ringing!), making little drawings from lonely benches, taking pictures of all the sacred things in our big world and making notes about odd thoughts.Many readers have written to say how much the Chronicles have helped them to live in the moments, so I guess I've finally found my calling.It feels good to do something that helps others in some way. d.price
Rating:  Summary: Amazing, life altering, a modern Jack Kerouac Review: The Moonlight Chronicles is an amazing discovery about what is really important in life. Dan Price will put your life into focus. Things that bother you... lose importance. Great joy is really available and all we need to do is open our eyes. Dan's life is so obviously the real way to live... it will change your perspective on things. Dan is cross between a Zen Master sent to fix the planet... and a more modern Jack Kerouac. This volume is primarily excerpts from Dan's larger collection of work available only in Zine format. I recommend this book highly... but I really recommend that you get the Zines too. There are more than 3000 pages in print.
