A visit the Printing Press & Sneak Preview!
I (Winnie) recently went to San Francisco, where Alice lives, and we had the opportunity to visit our printers for Canine Chronicles together. We crossed the beautiful Bay Bridge and descended on to Berkeley, where our printer is located. They specialize in small run, fine art publications. It was really exciting to touch and feel the various cover materials, see samples of other books in print, and discuss all the possibilities for our book. We're close now to sending in our final proof, and we're really excited about being so close to the finish line! So we want to give you a taste of how the book is coming along by showing you one of our layouts (not in its final form but will give you the idea). We'd like you to meet Sydney, the canine companion of Charlie Chaplin. Thank you again for your support and your patience!
Hope you have a wonderful holiday season!
xo,
Winnie, Cindy, and Alice
