I just received Schmoo's 120 page Blurb book, and I love it.

First, of course, it's a hardcover book of photos and writing of a friend of mine. I love how we can do that so easily. Make a really high-quality book and share it. A real book. Something that would have cost thousands of dollars 20 years ago. Well, it would have cost a lot of money, anyway! At $40, this one was a steal.

Second, I've been reading her blog (http://schmootography.blogspot.com/) for a while (much of the material in the book is from her blog), but I have to admit that I haven't always had the time to read all of her entries in their entirety. I'm kinda glad now that I didn't. Because it's so much fun reading the book. Schmoo has a definite talent as a writer to go along with her photographic talent.

If you want to check out a preview of the book, click on the image of it.

YAY!! :barb :ivar :barb

Can't wait until we get our copy so I can see the physical version of it.

That's way cool! I have cruised her site and I am a big fan of her photos, writing and humor.

Congratulations, Schmoo!

You're too much! :hide

:lol3

I am very amused that I don't even have my copy yet. Tomorrow, theoretically! I put this one together so I could have all of those memories in hard copy for my table, and it really touches me that I have friends who continue to support me and this habit.

I know Justiceiro has a book of his own. Anyone else? :ear

Not yet but maybe if I get yours I will get a better idea of what I want to do for mine. :wink

The quality of the blurb books is great. Their shipping dept. seems to be a little odd though. I had two people order my book within days of each other, and the difference in delivery time was 10 days. odd.

Not yet, Schmizness. Post christmas shopping Ms. Justi demanded that I put off buying it until January, due to depleted fundage. I expect to order the massive within a week or two. I will surely pimp it on this site:D.


BTW, just checked out the preview of your book. It look's really really nice.

just ordered a copy, looks awesome. It totally rocks that these books are getting built and offered for sale to the community.

Wow, thanks Awais and Ben! :bow

I too love the idea of being able to have books made by our friends from this community. This partnership is working out very well, I think. :thumb
