It has arrived
Posted by Daniela Elza on Jun 23 2011
Yes, the book of It is finally here. Now in its physical shape. My treatise to creativity and imagination has a worldly form. I know the picture is not that great, but the excitement makes up for it. I had no idea when the book will arrive due to our mail delivery drought (I want the best for our mail workers, but (hey guys) for some one who depends a lot on mail to do her work, I am hurting here). Yesterday a FedEx man (lost in the little streets and dead ends of False Creek) called me, and there they were.
Tried taking photos of myself with the book but the excitement was too much for the camera to contain. (Too goofy.) So we will do without those. Suffice to say that having the physical book feels pretty good, even though the virtual one felt very good too. (Perhaps a little less on the actual feeling part.) I love the size and I am happy with how the cover turned out. For those of you who want to do your own orders here is the print-on-demand version and for those who just wanted it as simple as possible here it is as a pdf. For those of you who would like to get a copy when you see me, I hope to have some on hand.
Tonight the book of It will make a modest appearance at the Jewish Community Center. Here are the details:
