Post has been fashionably late the last few days and I have been patiently waiting for the arrival of many prospective parcels with presents inside for family and friends, some are still missing in action but today there was one less to worry about. The arrival of my new book, I know it's hot on the heels of the last one but I felt the need and it was one that had been brewing in my head for some time.
Open Wide Plastic Panoramas is a collection of Holagaramas and Dianaramas made over a number of years and in various countries. The book contains loads of images which are double page spreads, 108 pages broken down into the loose themes of Land, Water, and Gatherings.
There is something fantastic about opening a package that you sort of have an idea of what is inside but then you really don't know quite what to expect. Nothing like the smell of new book!
Whatever you do this Christmas and whatever way you spend the season enjoy the time and if there is one thing I know I love it's seeing the look on other peoples faces when they open something they weren't expecting but really love.
Congratulations - what a wonderful project!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I've been thinking about doing this one for some time, would love to have some constructive feedback!
ReplyDeleteAgain a nice & interesting photo book. I just ordered the book.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately you can not sign it, that would be fine!
Merry Christmas,
Jan Werner
Wow Jan thank you, made my Christmas! When you receive your book I would be happy to send you a small signed print to go with it, just let me know which one is your favourite.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy it and a merry Christmas to you also!

Am sadly quite broke right now (as is so often the case post-Christmas) but I'm bookmarking this for later purchase. Am especially smitten with the waterscapes. Lovely work!
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice offer, thanks Ky :-)

Today I received the hardcover/dust jacket edition of 'Wide Open'. For my comment see: http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/1848497#book_comments_pane
ReplyDeleteA small point of criticism: I don't like that too big letters used for the index.
I have a question: why the book can not be ordered with Premium Paper?
Jan Werner
Jan, only just got to your post, A happy New year to you!
ReplyDeleteThank you for making those points, I have throroughly checked my book settings and as far as I can see it should have been sold to you with Premium paper in a lustre finish, obviously without seeing this and comparing to my copy it's hard to tell but if you feel it isnt the correct paper I can only suggest that unless you have another book with such paper to compare that you contact blurb help and let them also know that you are concerned it it the wrong paper.
I wish I could help more, as for the font size, that is an interesting call I would have liked it to be two points smaller but then the interline spacing became an issue!
Jan thanks again and I hope that these issues don't spoil your enjoyment of the images.
