The thrill of the book
I've been in the book-making business for 15 years now (yikes!), but I never quite get over the thrill of seeing the books I had a hand in creating on the shelves of a store. I know how much work goes into each one of the books. The hours the author spends creating the art and writing the text. The hours put in by the editor and designer to create a package that fits the author's work. The hours spent by production and the printer to get the book actually made. So to see it all come together and actually make it all the way to the customer is pretty cool.

When I walked into my local Archivers this past weekend, I was so happy to see so many new Memory Makers books front and center on the shelves. It warmed my heart, indeed. (So forgive me for being petty and blurring out the covers of the non-MM Books :)



Until next time,
Christine

How cute. You deserve to be "petty." lol! I'm glad you did it because it makes your books more identifiable for me!

I witnessed this moment, and I have to add that while a tear wasn't actually SHED, it was pretty darn close. I know what she means. It's always fun to see them in the store, especially when you've directly contributed to them.

*COUGH* *COUGH* "For Boys Only/For Girls Only" from HOW books, in stores soon! *COUGH*
