What Is Included in Brandon Bird's Valentine E-Book?

Updated

Brandon Bird's Valentine e-book is a 24-page downloadable and printable collection of Valentine cards and activities, priced at $8. According to the artist's own announcement on brandonbird.com, it contains 15 black-and-white pages and 9 color pages, and it was created specifically so people can print cards at home instead of requesting last-minute express-mail shipments.

What's Inside the E-Book

The announcement describes the contents in two categories:

  • Classic cards — including the "SVU Valentines" (Law & Order: Special Victims Unit–themed valentines), which the artist notes have been part of his Valentine art output for years.
  • New additions — including "a Hannibal you can build to store your Hanni-tines," described as a silly new item alongside the classics.

The page breakdown is 24 pages total: 15 black-and-white and 9 color. The mix suggests some pieces are meant for easy at-home printing in black and white, while others are designed to be printed in color.

Format and How It Works

The e-book is a digital file you download and print yourself. That is the core design decision behind it: rather than mailing physical cards, the buyer handles printing locally. The artist's stated motivation was the recurring problem of "frantic last-minute requests to express-mail a set of cards to someone," so the e-book is positioned as a same-day or near-same-day option.

Practical implications of that format:

  • You need a printer (or a print shop) to turn the file into physical cards.
  • Color pages will only look as intended if you print in color.
  • There is no shipping step, so timing depends entirely on when you download and print.

Price and Where to Get It

The e-book is listed at $8 in the announcement. The post directs readers to a "More details here!" link for the full description and purchase. The available page evidence does not specify the payment platform, file format, or download delivery method, so those details would need to be confirmed on the linked product page itself.

Who It's For

This is a reasonable fit if you:

  • Want Valentine cards with a specific pop-culture humor angle (SVU, Hannibal) rather than generic designs.
  • Need something on short notice and are able to print at home or at a local print shop.
  • Prefer a one-time $8 purchase over buying individual physical cards.

It's a weaker fit if you want pre-printed, ready-to-mail cards, or if you don't have easy access to a printer.
