Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms 2017 Resolutions - "The Book"

I know what you mean Ian, but the location is a cliff top bungalow which is owned by some friends. It has a nice view........
We'll sort out the signed copies when the books finally appear.
Crowood have done a great job with the cover design.

That looks great Dave 👍🏻
I am still up for two copies, a signed keeper and a copy to read and use.
Really looking forward to it.

With impeccable timing, the final proof of my book cover arrived in the post today, and its full size. I'll bring it on Sunday.

Interestingly, Crowood have changed the cover image from Mr Bumble to our Plus 4, and have changed the contrast colour from green to black. It looks better, and I would be happy with either, although MrsW wanted to see our current car on the front. Maybe she rang the publisher on the QT.

Anyway I've asked Crowood when I can post a proper image, so I await their response. The cover price is £25 UK, $44.95 US, and $53.95 CAN

I will be buying one....

And in €? I hope you sell a cover also to the old continent?

Heinz

It should be available at the appropriate exchange rate, possibly from Amazon. Crowood also sell direct from their website.

Cannot wait for a copy Dave!

It should appear on the "forthcoming titles" page soon. Last publication date as of now, is 5th January 2018. The page runs top to bottom for publication dates.

So soon as also on the 5th is the long awaited 100 walks in Yorkshire!

I've now had clearance from Crowood to share the covers.

It's getting very real and quite exciting now!!!!
Funny looking back how its evolved from a blank page and a vague idea of self publishing to this. I suppose the intermediate step is when I made up my own picture book of the build in 2016, and that was very easy, but that was just photograph uploading..............

Publication date is set for Monday 19th February.
Quote "we always go for the Monday of the last full working week of the month of publication. We'll ask the printer to deliver at the start of the month though, to give us some breathing space in the event of a last-minute hold-up, and as soon as the books are in the warehouse they will be released for sale".
