Campaign is a coffee table book by Shia LaBeouf and Karolyn Pho which is attached to the Born Villain project that accompanies the Born Villain album.[1][2] It was released on August 28, 2011 by LaBeouf's Grassy Slope Entertainment production company through various retailers.[3][4]
The book, accompanied by a DVD, is a visual accompaniment to Manson and LaBeouf's Born Villain joint project.[5] It is a collection of photographs taken by LaBeouf and his girlfriend, Karolyn Pho, of posters they put up to promote Born Villain, retracing the steps of a night LaBeouf spent traversing Los Angeles with Manson.[3]
The book was made available for pre-order on August 28, 2011, preceeding the screening of the Born Villain short film at L.A. Silent Theatre.[3] By ordering the book, purchasers gained entry to a book signing event followed by private screening of Born Villain at 10pm of September 1, 2011, at Hennessey + Ingalls outlet in Hollywood.[5]

Book Description
"Locals Rule. I think. Odd, living in L.A all my life and taking for granted my environment, my city. But one night, just a few months ago, I bumped into Marilyn Manson at one of my locals and together we crawled the city a bit; where he lived, where I lived, where we ate and drank and where we have been entertained. We traveled the roads to those places on streets that had become too familiar. And then I reflected back on that brief journey and traced that trip (with photographs). I connected buildings and streets, freeways, storefronts and trees with a BORN VILLAIN at my side. Here it is but with a little mood music to set my mood. - Shia and K and MM"[3]
Reception
While fan's reaction to the book has been mostly negative, with Babalon user Homeostasis referring to the book as an "F-grade Ghosts I-IV copy," and pondering "Why the fuck have I paid $100 for a useless book of photographs taken by the girlfriend of some cunt from Nickelodeon with a DVD that is somehow shorter [6:11] than the video [6:33] I can see for free on BV.com?"[6], the book got good reviews, and the video, Born Villain, has a good rating on IMDB[7].
Promotion
Born Villain Campaign was launched on the streets of LA by way of illegally pasted handbills and via the website the CampaignBook.com by Karolyn Pho and Shia La Beouf.[8] The website dedicated to the promotional campaign was discovered via a poster on August 27th, 2011.
