Collected for the first time in one volume, Passing A Message contains the lyrics to over 80 songs, with artwork and photographs, along with previously unseen notebook lyric drafts and drawings curated by Conor J. O\'Brien, for his musical project, Villagers. Presented as a full-colour hardback book, with a unique glow-in-the dark cover.

\"To catch an epiphany before it flies away; to play with it, to prod it until it tickles you into submission - this is songwriting... This book is dedicated to anyone who has been touched by these strange little musical maps of mine\" Conor J. O\'Brien, Villagers
