A new edition of New Mexico is coming! The newest stack of advance books arrived to me yesterday, now I must look over them carefully and reply with “Approved.” The changes are much more than the titling font (Neutra Display for those who care), so it’s a big undertaking. Cross fingers I catch any typos. (And, looks like I need to clean my keyboard.)

Scenes from , including rad wallpaper, some printer standouts, the Seattle Public Library and two book design winners. “Circle Way,” by Mary Ann Hogan, designed by , deserves a far better picture—the book is truly a work of art.

I can tell this is the by the uptick in book orders. People are on the road and on the move! And now, off to packing up more book orders…it’s busy.

My new packing tape from is looking good! Getting used to having to wet it to stick but I like the look. I have made it a goal to not buy boxes to send books in—I have too many that can be reused. This tape rebrands used boxes perfectly. I’m proud to say that I have not bought new boxes in about 6 years and I’ve had no problems. Next up to make more eco-friendly: manilla envelopes to ship 1-2 books…
