The book is still in the oven, but about 99% completed! Our number one priority is getting this book to you as soon as we can. We are currently finalizing a few design tweaks with the book, but we’ve already started the proofing process. This way we can deliver the files to the printer as soon as the campaign finishes. So barring any sort of unfortunate printer meltdown or world-wide ink shortage, we anticipate getting the book in your hands by July.
