tantalization

Well. This is frustrating. The USPS tracking says my proof of the Absinthe book was delivered at 8:31 this morning. But there's nothing downstairs - no package, no note, nothing. If it isn't here tomorrow perhaps I will check at the post office.

I really hope nobody stole the damn thing! We've never had that happen before but there's always a first time. So frustrating. I wanna see how it came out!

IT CAME

IT CAME

I was sitting at the computer fiddling with some stuff when I saw a mail van drive up, stop in front of our building, and take off. I went down and THERE IT WAS! The Absinthe book!




There are a few things that need tweaking - Nick pointed out that it needs an "ADULTS ONLY" warning on the cover, and there's a little text that gets cut off in one place (plus it's generally just too close to the edge, I might have misinterpreted the directions on trim size) but overall it looks pretty good, and it's really satisfying to have a year's labor sitting there in my hands!

I think the changes I need to make might merit a second test print. Also I'm thinking I might try it through Amazon's Createspace which offers better prices (I only found out about them this week). Gotta decide if the timing will be too tight to have them for Rainfurrest. But... BOOK!
