I don’t mean to go on and on about it, but the book looms so large in my mind these days, it’s the main current running through my life and we’re in the final week, Been agonizing over the cover and title page for several weeks, a dozen mock-ups. Yesterday my friend Louie showed up to help me, and he hung in with me all day as we tried dozens of things. Louie says what he thinks, and it’s great getting fresh perspective. At the end of the (hot) day, we went down to the beach. I went swimming; the tide was coming out of the lagoon fast and the water was warm, maybe 60º, and I
swam with the tide, felt like I was flying.
This morning I came out and surveyed the results (+ the carnage, shown here) and it’s lookin pretty good. Lew and Rick are coming in today and the 3 of us will work on it. By the time we get it done, the cover will be the work of 5-6 people.
Perhaps you could post a few versions of the cover here and have your blog readers chime in with thoughts? Cover design from the global digital village?
I am really looking foward to this book. My copy of Builders of the Pacific Coast, has been our defacto bathroom reader for far too long.

Phil M, I thought of doing that, but there just hasn't been time. Hoping to get cover done in next 3 days.
I'm local and working on an amazing tiny house. Is there still time to submit it or will I have to wait for the next edition?
Thanks!
Too late for this book, but send it to us for the next. Thanks.
