Starting now, when you buy the book “Sharpen This” from the Lost Art Press website, it will not only be signed by the author (that would be Christopher Schwarz), but we’ll include our reprint of the 2017 “Sharpen This” sticker that some (hi, Mom!) might find mildly offensive. (If you get a sticker and don’t want it, we will be in no way offended if you choose to bin it. And anyway, we won’t know!)
We’re able to add the sticker at no extra cost now that our fulfillment operations are here in Covington, Kentucky. Right now, we’re committing to the sticker (and signature) through the end of the year.
What if you just bought a book and are now disappointed that you didn’t get a sticker? I will mail you a sticker, no charge, if you send me a Self-addressed Stamped Envelope (SASE).
Simply write your address on an envelope and put a stamp on it. Put that envelope in a second envelope and mail it to:
Sharpen This
Lost Art Press
837 Willard St.
Covington, KY, 41011
If you are an international customer, you can still get the naughty sticker, but you’ll need to have a USPS Global Forever Stamp on your SASE. I know that’s a PITA, but it’s the best we can do.

p.s. Please keep any comments/responses to comments civil.
It’s a good thing I bought envelopes recently, if you’re going to keep doing this.
(What fun!)
Being as kind as I can I am disappointed that you offer and promote such a vulgar sticker.
Bummer Karen!
Thanks for keeping it nice.
Evidently, vulgarity is in the eye of the beholder. I have the last decent photo of a good friend who died a few years ago. In it, he’s giving the viewer the “sharpen this” gesture, as this was his common greeting if you met him in the street. And quite a repertoire in variations. At the family viewing, before he was cremated, I showed the pic around and his widow suggested that it would make a fine bulletin thing (whatever that is that they pass out at funerals). I emailed it to the funeral people who were pleasant and accommodating as ever, if a little nervous. But then the venue was changed to a fundamentalist mega-church and my pic didn’t make the cut. Should’ve printed my own. Miss that dude.
It’s nice of you to offer this, as an option for those who like it.
What about the people that have already bought the book and would like it autographed? Maybe an autographed sticker.

You can easily get signed bookplates free with an SASE.
the sticker is hilarious, I just don’t understand what it has to do with sharpening. 🤔🖕🤣
Because it’s edgy.
These are great, any chance I can just buy some of these stickers directly?
No…but you can have one. Send me an SASE!
If you want multiple, you can just make them yourself. Here is the original artwork file:

Could I get both a sticker AND an autograph on my original SCB if I send it to you via post with a return paid postage? 🙂
Yes – just stick a Post-it note with that request in your outer envelope, please!
ah, pitty. One can only order this in the USA I see? Any chance of shipping abroad (Netherlands)?
Thank you,
Jan
Can I get a DNA sample from Fitz with my sticker? Just in case I decide to clone her.
you could ask her for one hair from her greying head. if she’s in a good mood, she’ll give you three.
Nobody wants that
Ask my mother…one of me is more than enough
You get a Fitz, and you get an Fitz, and you get a Fitz…
Classy.
