Mine arrived when I got home late last night (we are expecting up to a foot of snow and we had to leave NY early.) What a great surprise ON XMAS! Really an amazing book and yes, the photos do not do this beauty justice. Really an amazing book. Congrats to all involved in this amazing release!

I am so happy people are liking this book! It really makes my holidays and my life really. J & J really know how to do it up, I'll tell ya! Didn't they do a fantastic job? I was just as blown away myself when I saw it. I was NOT expecting what I saw either. I could hardly believe it was my art in this amazing book. They are truly gifted book artists.
My initial post is probably an injustice, also. I believe I was caught off guard with how delighted I was with what I received. A "wonderful piece" implies one thing when in fact what I received was a treasure chest. Like it? Love it! You might have played some small part in that. :D Justine, too. I suspect she often sent Jordan out for coffee so she could get her work done.

stop the penistry
no, this was definitely all jordan's work. i would love to be able to take credit for it but all i did was suggest hemming the edges of the book cloth where the spine slides in so it would look tidier, and i sewed up all the sketch books. jordan asked for my editorial opinion of everything, but it was pretty much his baby.

lothario speedwagon
well, almost 1 year later, i have finished all of these books. it's strange not to have something by carol to work on, given that i have been occupied by her work for almost half the time that chance press has even existed. sure, we came out with other projects in between, but when those were finished, there was always more 'scribbles' to work on. and now... the remaining copies are sitting on my shelf, all done.
for those that are interested - from the original edition of 16 (plus 4 long sold-out special editions), there are 6 remaining. you buy now.

I find that this can be easily cured by asking her for something else to publish!
I know this isn't related to Ms E's book, but I saw Joan Jobe Smith and Fred Voss read in London a couple of weeks and Ms Smith was reading from her Chance Press book. Peering through her large black sunglasses, she had some nice things to say about the book. She also told some Bukowski tales, but they're nothing to do with Chance Press...
