THE BOOK IS AVAILABLE!
I've edited the book a little to improve it now I've seen my copy and it's available on blurb - anyone interested in having one, just click on the link on the right there and you can see the first few pages in a preview. (those who subscribe will need to actually go to my blog to see the necessary widget as it doesn't show up on the posts you receive so click here to take you to the blog post http://vivienb.blogspot.com/2008/04/book-is-available.html and the widget is on the right.

Their programme does need some work, it's a beta version and it crashes from time to time and after working for a while it gets slower and s l o w e r - closing it down and reopening it seems to help but it does get annoying. Working with a lot of large image files has got to be using a lot of memory so maybe those of you with nice new computers won't find this a problem - my elderly laptop did. It's a good easy programme though and their print quality is great so I'll stick with them and hopefully they will iron out the glitches as they go along.
Now for the next book project ....... and some painting ....... and some teaching preparation :>(.

I finally got through the
purchase order and am waiting.
Best Wishes!
Congratulations for getting this done - I've only published academic books so far (and with poor illustrations) but it's such a great feeling to get it finally finished!
an academic book sounds very impressive :>)
Can't wait to get it!
