Hoping the inbox has a few emails from the chosen ones

Mid Life Celebration the book, first 20 copies
Mid Life Celebration the book, first 20 copies (gave most of the red ones away)

 

Sometime later today, hoping the inbox has a few emails from the chosen ones.

Four days ago sent seven copies (only 10 in print) of the book to seven of the most active MLC supporters.

The three others copies? Keeping the original I read (and reread – 10 times so far), one copy voluntarily sent for an audit, and one copy to frame (or something) for posterity.

The spine was printed incorrectly, so ten corrected copies just arrived a few days ago. Ten free copies to review and share are a typical first step in the printing process.

Midlife Celebration book spine before and after
The red spine is incorrect and no one apologized (all is forgiven)

 

Delayed a month. No fault on the author’s part.

Am grateful it was only a month delay.

Grateful to be able to afford to self-publish.

Grateful for an amazing book designer.

Grateful even, for the publisher and printer who somehow misfired, but made it right (even though i had to initiate the logical service recovery).
