The Contented
You may be pleased to hear that Idiots'Books Volume 9, titled The Contented, hit the post office today following a marathon day and night of production. (Or you might be wholly indifferent to the news.)
We set up the white table and made books. It was about 90 degrees in the barn yesterday, so we also sweat a lot.
I'll spare you the long-winded nitty gritty.
Eventually there were books.
Volume 9 is a complex thing from the production standpoint. All four sides of each page bleed and so must be trimmed. The book is bound with wire. And it is very long. Which means more time printing and trimming. But we're happy with the way it turned out. Though it is decidedly different than its predecessors.
It was some time in the wee hours when we finished stuffing all the envelopes. There are now 193 subscribers. It's a lot of envelopes to lick.
Today we rushed around like fools, doing errands in anticipation with our departure for England early tomorrow morning.
It is highly unlikely that we'll be able to access the internet while on the longboat, so this may be the last posting for a while.
I wish I had something more inspiring to share.
How about another picture of Connecticut on fire? It always warms the heart.
