Thanks Creator.Creator wrote:Binding and cover is VERY good.duchess of malfi wrote:Yes. How is the paper? The binding? Does the ink smear your fingers? Is the cover well glued to the book or is it falling off like some of those crappy books from Tor? Details! We want details!!!!!

I love it!!
And I'll bring it to the DC event tomorrow to get the DC author's to sign their sections!!
WOO HOO!!!!
Well then we did okay. Whew! I feel much better.
Signed copies of the book. Thats pretty darn cool.
If anyone would like Dan or myself to sign a book, since we work at the same company, I suppose you could mail it to us and we could send it back. Just about the only way I know of to get signatures from every author.
On to Anthology II!

My reading has been slowing down lately, too. I set it up the way that is easiest for me.

I have to take my computer in for repairs so I have been pretty much offline excpet for a few minutes here and there from work or the library...but the last time I was able to check my email I got something saying that the book is on its way.
I cannot wait to see it!
And I am sure that my middle aged eyes will also appreciate larger print and wide spacing.

Dan's books arrived yesterday and I finally got a look at the finished product. I was very pleased with the cover and quality of the book. The format is off though. All the pages ended up on the wrong side of the book and the text is not just big but huge. We'll have to keep these things in mind with the next Anthology. I have read that those that have gotten their books appreciated the large print and I'm gratefull for that but I'm reminded of the old Spiderman Electric Company comics. "Easy Reader says this comic is easy to read." Hehe.

you're more advanced than a cockroach,
have you ever tried explaining yourself

cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

BT Shire! Hope you're planning to submit again this time around?

I GOT IT
Woo hoo! It's in my hands. I haven't started reading it yet, but I just spent 10 minutes paging through it and looking at the cover. I know, that's lame, but I love books so much, sometimes I just want to hold them.
