About the Book
This enhanced eBook edition of The Tiny Book of Tiny Stories: Volume 2 includes seven exclusive videos from the hitRECord community.
Actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt (The Dark Knight Rises, Inception, Looper, 500 Days of Summer) made a big splash with The Tiny Book of Tiny Stories—so now he’s back with volume 2! One of the most ingenious and successful projects to come out of Gordon-Levitt's online creative coalition hitRECord—an international collaboration of artists and writers—The Tiny Book of Tiny Stories: Volume 2 offers more quirky, delightfully small, ingeniously illustrated haiku-like tales, proving once more that the universe isn’t made of atoms; it’s made of tiny stories. The best things do come in small packages.
Critical Praise
“From the department of Perfect Hipster Stocking Stuffers . . . Buy it for your brooding-artist cousin, but then selfishly decide to keep it for yourself.” - Philadelphia City Paper

“Told with haiku-like precision.” - LA Weekly
“This tiny book is a winner . . . half short story collection, half communal poem.” - Flavorwire, 10 Must Reads for December 2011
“Ingeniously illustrated . . . witty . . . meaningful.” - Entertainment Weekly
“HitRECord.org, where tens of thousands of contributors now bring their original music, text, illustrations and footage, lets people really “share” their work - not in the YouTube sense of simply posting something and hoping for an enthusiastic response, but in the true spirit of collaboration.” - Salon
“These clever little stories-really more like illustrated haikus-often pack a wallop despite their slender length, running the gamut from funny to poignant to just plain strange.” - The Hollywood Reporter
“A victory for the enduring power and allure of physical, bound books.” - The Millions
