Advance copies of my book have arrived at the publisher's offices. My publisher is F+W Media. Popular Woodworking Magazine is published by a separate division of the same company. Therefore, the editors at PopWood have seen the book. (I haven't yet seen it -- a disadvantage of being located far, far away.)

The reports I've heard are positive. In a Facebook post, Managing Editor Megan Fitzpatrick called the book "gorgeous." Senior Editor Bob Lang wrote, also on Facebook, "If you're a fan of Greene & Greene, you NEED this book." It was very kind of them to take the time to comment. Particularly when the comments are complimentary.

Creating a book is a long, convoluted process. It's just the nature of the beast. Given the elapsed time since I began this project, it's very gratifying to be this close to the culmination and to see that the effort is appreciated. I hope that I feel the same way after I see the book...
