You've been busy. I'll forward the link along to others that may also be interested.

Yes, very busy but also quite pleased with this publication.
All totaled, a full year from start to finish...
I changed printers due to complete and utter ignorance with the last printer.
I also did a majority of the layout this time around.
Sadly, a couple typos slipped through as much as I tried for this not to happen.
The prepress process is a learning experience.
The printers prepress folks need held by the hand each step of the way.
And I found out even this doesn't always work properly.

My goal with these books is to not only share what I have been a part of for so many years, but to make available a special gift for anyone to enjoy at Christmas.
Christmas has always been a exciting time in my life...
So much to be thankful for.
And sharing it at this special time of the year is always of extreme importance to me.

Merry Christmas from "Longview Station"...
