Rick has been working over a month now on the 1000 images in the book, using Photoshop to enhance (and sometimes rescue) the photos. He’s just about finished. As of a few days ago, we finished layout of the last pages. Next we’ve got a round of corrections, then proofreading, then printing out the entire book full size on Epson proofing paper.
For the last week I’ve been fooling around with a title page showing people in the book. Here’s the latest version, just finished this morning. Scissors and removable scotch tape at this stage.
We’re working on a bunch of ideas for the cover. Nothing solid yet. Subtitle: Wheels & Water.
Target date is books in stores by May.
We’ve had orders for 2100 copies of Tiny Homes this month, and the month isn’t even over. Saving our bacon.

Looking good Mano!

Doing pre orders on this new book?
No. no pre-orders now.
May seems so far away… Sigh.
Amazon is doing pre-orders for the new book. I've pre-ordered mine. Can't wait. I know I'm going to love it!
