What made this book was the hours of layout work and text editing you accomplished in record time. Kudos. If there is a 2007 Edition, will probably have to railroad you into honchoing that one, too. Delivery was in 5 business days. Honest. It was shipped from a printer in downtown Seattle, so having ordered it last Thursday, I got it via Big Brown Truck today (Monday). Seattle to Seattle; makes sense. The quality was superb (I opted for the hard cover (read as: Vanity) version. The photos were really quite well printed, with suprisingly dense color shots and well-rendered contrast/tonality on the B&Ws. Like you, I only wish more LUGers had submitted. My wife and I pored over every page and weren't ready for the last page! We want more! Maybe we can go for at least the LUG 100 next time. Thanks so much for a great job on a superb First Edition. bobinseattle On Jan 15, 2007, at 18:21, Harrison McClary wrote: Today I got a delivery from Fed-Ex and UPS with books from different "instant" publishers. One was the wonderful LUG yearbook Jim put together for us. Jim as everyone has said you did a wonderful job with the book. From the intro to the closing it is a very slick and professional looking job. It does not give in any way the appearance of being "home made" Great Job! The second book was a book I did using Aperture from images of our wedding back in March...yeah I know what took me so long LOL. Both books printing was comparable and both shipped from the same city...wonder if they came from the same presses???? The main difference is that the LUG book has a dust jacket and the Mac book has a hard back cover with the cover photo adhered to it. Anyway it was interesting to get these two books on the same day. I designed my Wedding book on Sunday and uploaded Sunday night and it shipped on Monday...WOW that was fast! But I ordered ground and it took a week to get here...that was slow.
