After having a really bad day, yesterday I came home to a nice surprise. A box with my copies of A Year of Hitchcock. It was just the kind of boost I needed after a terrible day.
I can’t tell you how happy I am with the production quality of this book. The folks at Scarecrow Press and their parent company, Rowman & Littlefield, did a spectacular job. This is top work by any measure.
Thumbing through it and seeing my words presented so nicely … well, I felt very proud. This whole project, which my co-author Jim and I have lived with for over three years now, now feels real. Real in a very tangible way. And that makes all the work we did, both the enjoyable work and the stuff we hated on our road to publication, absolutely worth it.
I told him last night but want to do it in public: Thanks for sticking through on this tough project, Jim.
Congratulations!
Thank you, too, Eric. This was not an easy project for either of us, but we kept each other going throughout and I think we finally have something nice that we can show for all of that work. And it does indeed look great. I’m very pleased with how it all turned out. Definitely something for which we can be proud.
