The Book Is (Almost) Finally Here!
filed under: Goods & Gadgetry

My editor just overnighted me the finished book (on-sale date is Oct 4) and I must say it looks HOT!!! Check out these snaps, including some shots of interior pages. I love love LOVE the illustrations by Donna Mehalko, who really nailed the fresh, fun side of tasting. Holding the book for the first time was definitely a crazy experience - I don't have kids, but it certainly made feel like I was holding a "baby" ;). Those interested in pre-ordering are more than welcome to do so already at Amazon.

Or, stay tuned for an upcoming list of appearances and signings, and get one from me in person!

Hi, Just found your blog via All the Best. I had to do a double take at your post as I am going through the exactly the same experience right now. I have a book coming out this month The Design Directory of Window Treatments and I just received my first copy from my editor two days ago. I understand what you're talking about! It's totally surreal after staring at it for so many months on the computer to actual have it in your hands is weird. Congrats - I'm sure you worked hard for it! You can check out my book on my blog. Good Luck with marketing and promotion.

Congrats on the book, I cannot wait to check it out! I live in NYC, but I visit Napa several times a year for wine shopping trips - hopefully the next one will coincide with one of your parties - they sound fabulous!
