Since it seems there are at least two different printers involved it
would be interesting to get a book from each of them to compare print

 Smaller than I thought it would be, Forward still spelled  wrong, and they
 only used the 2008 Quote List (I was hoping they would include  all previous
 yearly quotes, since I wasn't around much in 2008 and only got one  quote in, 
 and
 it wasn't funny, either. Poop.).

 Image wrap -- doesn't  include book flaps from dust jacket, but does include
 the back cover of the dusk  jacket (on the back). Overall, it looks good. My
 facing photos are Doug's and  Jostein's, so I feel flattered. :-)

 It's really, really  nice.

 Thanks, guys.

Oh, to heck with it. Too hard to wait until  everyone ordering gets theirs.

Doug, heh, like your Forward. I won't tell  anyone. Heh.

Ken - Love your photos, the sand one, Superior Shore, is  powerful and 
dramatic. The other, Seney Scene is just gorgeous -- layered, soft,  subtle.

Brian - Morning at Mollymook, wow. Wow. I presume that is  wide-angle, maybe 
even fish-eye (though not over done fisheye). Simply fantastic  photo, 
reflection, skies, trees, it has it all - really, really  nice.

Subash - Lakescape, beautiful. Such deep color in the water. At  first, I 
thought Wish he hadn't put the road in, it detracts. Then I decided  it 
really 
added depth -- leads the eye in.

Walt - Hot Dog Heaven, heh.  Great use of fisheye, crystal clear, strong 
colors, and it's funny.

Tim -  Highland Cattle in Saskatchewan Winter, great shot. Love the shaggy  
fur.

Thrainn - Well, you're so good, a lot of us just have to hate  you.

Bob - What a lovely Egret, and such fine shadings of color and such  fine 
detail in the feathers.

Jostein - Have a Pair of Nylons, Sweetheart  - Great colors, great collection 
of birds, great photo -- but where the heck are  the nylons? Heh.

Christian - Glad one Cormorant got in there. :-) Isn't  that the same photo 
that Cotty once made a magazine cover of? A PDML  classic.

Derby - Wearable Art, wow, that dramatic photo just leaps off  the page. 

Joseph - Evening Fog Fingers, I love the way the fog is  rolling over the 
hills and the gentle late day colors. 

Bill - Nice to  see Grandfather Mountain in full color. Really, really pretty.

Jaume -  Outside the Museum, yeah, that belongs near the beginning, it's a 
very strong  photo.

Fernando - Daydream, definitely looks like one. The title is  really apt. 
Very surreal and beautiful.

Christine - Beale Street  Backflip, well, guess you know how to shoot people 
and people on the street  already :-). I just hadn't been around to see it. 
Love it -- it's sharp,  colorful, and fun. And great timing on your part.

Dave - Smokies, lovely  vista. I definitely think you should do more of that. 
IR, right?

Frank -  Unaware of the Stare, heh. Heh, heh.

Ann, still love the green chairs.  Doug, still love the frames. Godfrey's 
Beginning Ascent, I already commented on,  very painterly.

Many of the others I'd seen. Many I hadn't. But I can't  comment on them all 
anyway, there too many. So I have mainly remarked on ones I  hadn't seen.

Lots of great photos and it feels great to have mine in  there with them.

Double Arrrgh.

According to the Blurb website, mine is still being processed and wont
even be shipped until 24/2 even though I ordered on 13/2.

Bugger! Bugger! Bugger!  Oh bugger it.  Here's another one.

Marnie - thanks for the kind comment.  Yes wide angle but not a fisheye

Thanks for the first proper review Marnie! I'm looking forward (or 
foreword) to many more as the books get delivered. It's fascinating and 
gratifying to observe how everyone I show the book to has different 
picks as favorite shots. That's a good sign, I think.


53 copies sold as of this morning (not including the 4 I've ordered

 that Cotty once made a magazine cover of? A PDML  classic.

 Derby - Wearable Art, wow, that dramatic photo just leaps off  the page.

 Joseph - Evening Fog Fingers, I love the way the fog is  rolling over the
 hills and the gentle late day colors.

 Bill - Nice to  see Grandfather Mountain in full color. Really, really pretty.

 Jaume -  Outside the Museum, yeah, that belongs near the beginning, it's a
 very strong  photo.

 Fernando - Daydream, definitely looks like one. The title is  really apt.
 Very surreal and beautiful.

 Christine - Beale Street  Backflip, well, guess you know how to shoot people
 and people on the street  already :-). I just hadn't been around to see it.
 Love it -- it's sharp,  colorful, and fun. And great timing on your part.

 Dave - Smokies, lovely  vista. I definitely think you should do more of that.
 IR, right?

 Frank -  Unaware of the Stare, heh. Heh, heh.

 Ann, still love the green chairs.  Doug, still love the frames. Godfrey's
 Beginning Ascent, I already commented on,  very painterly.

 Many of the others I'd seen. Many I hadn't. But I can't  comment on them all
 anyway, there too many. So I have mainly remarked on ones I  hadn't seen.

 Lots of great photos and it feels great to have mine in  there with them.

 Later, Marnie aka Doe  :-)

I ordered on the 13th, probably within an hour or so of Mark's  
announcement. I also signed up for two-day shipping. Blurb's site says  
it will ship on about the 24th. It's probably a regional thing. Not a

I dunno. I ordered on Saturday with second day shipping and Blurb  
says mine's still a week away from being shipped.
I also ordered mine on Saturday morning. But I asked for the  
economy shipping, which is going by US Post ground. Looks like it  
shipped yesterday, according to the Blurb site.

I don't think so.  I ordered mine with the cheapest shipping option, and it is

I ordered mine standard delivery (FedEx Ground - least expensive) on  
the afternoon of the 13th Friday, was shipped from San Francisco on  
the 16th Monday, and received them in Everett (Seattle) on the  
afternoon of the 17th.


I would suspect that Blurb might have a contract with several printers  
around the country with calibrated printers who crank these out and  
ship them 24 hours a day to get such rapid response times. Note that  
Marnie got hers the day after I did, and Mark was commenting on how  
quickly he got his proofs.

The trash we discard in the sea, the nets cut loose to ensnare  
dolphins, tuna, etc, are a disgrace. Worse yet are the plastic six  
pack (and eight pack) loops that get tangled up in birds legs and  
necks. At the dump primarily, but anywhere they are discarded.


Please use a knife or scissors to cut every loop on those things  
(large and small) before they are discarded. Write to your local and  
state and federal representatives and try to get these things recycled  
instead of thrown away. Don't know if it does any good, but I use one  
of these to tie 25 or more together using the smallest hole, and cut  
all the other holes before placing them in the recycle bin. If your  
area recycles bundled plastic bags and/or gallon milk jugs, they may  
just recycle these items as well. Worth a try.

Most of the material that the gannets find are actually nylon ropes
from all sorts of martime activities. Hard to collect for recycling.
But of course there is debris blown onto the waves from land based
households and enterprises too. Much of that is recycled, but far from
all.

One of the things I have a personal gripe with is plastic-wrapped
heybales (aka. tractor eggs). Many farmers leave them outdoors for
livestock to forage on when out. The animals tear off the plastic in
pieces, which is then distributed with the wind.

My copy seems fine,  looks pretty darn good, in fact. The paper could be a 
higher grade, I suppose,  but it appears alright -- sort of a non-glossy fine 
mat, sort of like a  lustre paper. The only problem I can see is that dark 
photos, like Ralf's,  because the surrounding page is black and the paper is 
not 
glossy, don't show up  that well. The premium paper probably makes a difference 
for the dark/nighttime  photos. 
 
The brighter photos definitely come across better. But that may be the  black 
background as much as anything. shrug I don't know.

The  photos with subtle colors also seem to be fine.

I just received my hard cover copy of The Book today and all I can say 
is wow. It's thirteen dollars more than the paperback but worth every 
penny.

I ordered on the 13th, probably within an hour or so of Mark's 
announcement. I also signed up for two-day shipping. Blurb's site says  it 
will ship on about the 24th. It's probably a regional thing. Not a 
problem.

I dunno. I ordered on Saturday with second day shipping and Blurb  says 
mine's still a week away from being shipped.
I also ordered mine on Saturday morning. But I asked for the  economy 
shipping, which is going by US Post ground. Looks like it  shipped 
yesterday, according to the Blurb site.

I ordered a hardcopy with dust-jacket as well.  Can't wait to see it.  As 
soon as I see a copy, I think I'll order a Premium Paper copy  a 
soft-cover.  I'll give my 1st hard-cover copy to my parents.

Wow, that was fast. Wonder if they are in  California?

Smaller than I thought it would be, Forward still spelled  wrong,  
and they
only used the 2008 Quote List (I was hoping they would include   
all previous
yearly quotes, since I wasn't around much in 2008 and only got  
one  quote in, and

it wasn't funny, either. Poop.).

Image wrap -- doesn't  include book flaps from dust jacket, but  
does include
the back cover of the dusk  jacket (on the back). Overall, it  
looks good. My

facing photos are Doug's and  Jostein's, so I feel flattered. :-)

It's really, really  nice.

Thanks, guys.

There's some great photos in the book that I  feel I have never seen before 
(and some I have).

I'd like to say, hey,  so-and-so, I really like such-and-such. 

But I think it would be nicer to  wait until more get theirs.

I was notified at 00:41 on Tuesday, and received my two copies at  
16:35 the same day (4:35 p.m. ladies).


And must say it is put together with great care by the noble lackeys  
who took on the task.


Both I and my neighbors were impressed by the scope of the images. WAY  
TO GO PDML members!


I will leave the 2nd one in it's plastic pouch and have it incinerated  
with my remains when I go, to be interred in a cemetery in  
Massachusetts.  I forget exactly where. But that doesn't matter, as I  
have little faith that my sisters will respect my wishes and use my  
estate to travel there and bury me. I expect I'll be allowed to billow  
out the window of one of their cars as it heads to the South Center  
mall for some shopping. ;-)


Ahem. Thanks to you all for taking the time to contribute. I'm going  
through it for the fourth time this evening.
