Boyink! - Spring Forward on the Web

When I remembered to check the mail today I found this sitting all lonely in the garage—where the nice mailperson put it since it’s 50 degrees and raining here in W. MI. today:

All in all I’m pretty happy with the printed version of the Building an ExpressionEngine Site book from LuLu - even if the book cover came out a bit purple against the blue of the CD (even though I used the same source image for everything).

Inside the book looks great - the screenshots are all legible, and the print is easy to read with lots of whitespace for your notes and scribbles.

I know it’s self-publishing and vanity press and all of that…but it’s still dang cool to see a book with my name on it sitting on my desk!

   Congratulations, MIke!  Yes, indeed, it’s still a book and a great accomplishment!

   Congrats Mike!  The probable reason for the difference in blues is that the cover would have been printed in cmyk and the cd cover in rgb and they have different colour gamuts (ranges). Blues are notoriously difficult to match anyway so don’t worry about it, they look great!

   Thanks guys…

   The book is more purple even than in this pic…but I don’t mind.  It’s distinctive…;)

   And my purple/pink loving 9 year old girl likes it…
