Thread: Now On Sale - "a single in january" (UPDATED...2 versions of book)

Very nice work everyone. Just bought the iPad version and browsed through it. For those of you who were so intimately involved in the project, the book is probably a bit anti-climatic. But for someone viewing almost all of the photos with fresh eyes, it's a real treat with a lot of really fine images. I was able to guess a surprising number of the photographers before going back and checking the index. Impressive that so many have developed styles that i could so often tell who'd shot what. Very enjoyable - I look forward to spending more time with this book in the coming days. Thanks for all of your work.

My wife, the dogs and I will be driving through your beautiful state this autumn on a roadtrip to visit a brother who lives in Charleston, SC and another that lives in HOT-lanta, GA. We've got a lot of ground to cover in a short period of time, but if there's time in our schedule, I'll give you a holler.

The book turned out nicely, well done. Looks like a pro job!

This is SO cool! Luke an amazing job done. Wish I were a part of it too.

Mate there's always a door ajar and a cold brew or two in the fridge when you make your way to Oz. Great work, you herded us cats real well. I doff my flat-cap to you brother. Also Otto and Will...top work fellas!

Keep your eyes peeled on the Forum, as I suspect the next "Single in..." challenge is only months away

@All - great to see a vision realised. A collective back-pat to us all.

oh bloody hell ... choices ... I love dust-jackets but i also like a library-bound book ...

(anyone who is thinking of saying "buy both" , remember petrol is £6.35 a gallon here and I just filled up the car ...)

Softcover for me too. They even slugged me 10% GST (goods and services tax to the Oz govt).

Mark will that be when it's winter here again in the northern hemisphere?

Paul, you're supposed to fill the tank, not the car, you use a lot more otherwise and so it costs more

Seriously guys, well done, a great effort, Mark for starting us off and keeping us on track and Luke, Otto and Will for rounding things off nicely.

As long as we're all handing out "thanks", I'd like to send one out to BB for her constant kind words. It seems impossible, but I think she commented on every photo (Stillshunter may have, too.....and I gotta admit I tried, but I missed a bunch when I went on a weeklong vacation). But her comments on mine were always so expertly timed. She was always reading between the lines in my shots and knew just when I was ready to quit the whole thing and gave me an extra dose of "you can do it". If it weren't for her prodding and encouragement, this book would never have gotten done.

And another thanks to everyone for being so cool to work with and for sharing their vision and those great photos.

There had been some talk earlier in the planning stages and some folks had asked for a version of the book with credits on the actual photo page so they wouldn't need to flip back and forth between the photos and the credits section in the back. I still plan on doing that version too. I'll probably get that one loaded up next week.

I second that!
