My self-published book has finally arrived and I am very pleased with the quality of the product. The printing is meticulous and I am mystified how they got all the colors absolutely perfect without soft-proofing etc. 50 pages on 100# paper, hard cover. I used a company called Bookmobile and working with them was very pleasant. They were a bit cheaper than a couple of other places I investigated. It was a lot of fun, selecting the photos and designing the book.

Congratulations, Peter. Is it a book about rocks? I did one once -- about people. There are three copies of the hardbound in existence, but it's also on the web at http://www.russ-lewis.com/photo_gallery/Penny_Arcade/index.html. Interesting how the web can reach so many people.

Congratulations, Peter. That book will give you satisfaction for a long time.

Good job Peter. That's terrific. Could you review costs etc.? Is there a place to see some of the inside shots?

Thanks y'all. To answer a few questions--
It is not about rocks per se, just all sorts of (mostly) nature shots from all over.
It ended up costing about $30 a copy, perhaps a tad more.
I am making a web page to show the photos in the book and will post here when it is done.

Your cover looks great. Looking forward to seeing more of the inside.
At $30 a copy, that is cheaper than my Blurb books by an order of magnitude. What are the page dimensions? How many copies did you have printed?
I agree on the fun part. Making your own coffee table book is tremendously satisfying.
