They made it!
By JC | January 18, 2011
All morning, I kept listening for the tell-tale drone of the UPS truck. False alarms made me all jittery, then crushed my spirit. Finally, mid-day, these arrived:
two of eleventy-billion boxes...
...of books!
Books! Not a mere idea, not a bunch of InDesign files, but real, live, don’t-stub-your-toe-on-the-boxes books! Charts Made Simple was so long in the making, I wasn’t sure I’d ever see this day.
Still, it took a few moments to screw up the courage to actually open one of the books. What if I immediately found errors? What if I didn’t like what I saw?
Nope. I like them. I like the feel of the paper. I like the way the fonts look, all nice and sharp on the top-notch paper. I like the rounded corners, and the sturdy binding—I suspect the books will hold up well, even when jostled around in knitting bags.
Now, to start shipping books. Soon enough, they ought to be in yarn shops around the country. And when online ordering becomes a reality, I’ll announce it here on the blog.
Eventually, someday, I might even find the courage to sit down and read the book myself.
