IT'S A BOOK

OK, so it's the proof copy, which is one copy of the book so that I can check it for problems before they commit to the 100-copy (OMG 100 copies! Thank you, pre-order people for ordering enough that we can afford to up the print run!) run of Project Blue Rose.

There is, of course, one problem:



And it's not the cat: I misjudged the placement of the blurb, so it's right up against the edge of the cover. I'm going to ask them: if I send in a revised cover where that's moved over just a tad, can they run the books without running another proof copy, because if they have to do that it's going to take time and I won't meet the A-Kon deadline. If they can't - no matter, I'll just leave it like it is and when rachelmanija and I become Rich and Famous [TM] they can be the hard-to-find, rare messed-up first edition copies of Project Blue Rose. I EXPECT TO SEE EVERY ONE OF YOU PUTTING YOUR SPARE COPIES ON EBAY AND MAKING A FORTUNE! DO NOT DISAPPOINT ME!*

And a third picture, of me poking the cat in the butt.





* What, you didn't buy a spare copy? SHAME ON YOU WHAT.

Will you have art hanging in the booth? Print a big copy of the cover art, and hang it above the stack of copies. That should catch the eye.

No booth, just a table, and it's not against a wall or pillar. Maybe one day I'll actually have an easel to put behind the table, but not this year. :D

(I can print a big copy and tape it to the front of the table, though.)

I've used a camera tripod with the head cranked all the way up in place of a tripod.

Don't have one of those, either. Used to, but it managed to get sucked into the vortex of props and equipment that was Digital Burn and I have no idea what happened to it.
