#PublishABook9

It was a relief to have the book's contents under control and the design of the pages and of the cover in order. The type of paper was decided upon, the hidden coil binding was a certainty, the page design was looking great, we had our copyright and book publishing data organized, the price was set and we were ready to go.

The next big step was to decide upon a printer. Again, research was necessary. Who? Where? When? How many copies? ... and so on.

We were very lucky to find a great printer with a wonderful sales rep, Andy, who babied us along, because we really were babes-in-the-woods. It was obvious but we were not afraid to ask questions, even if they sounded silly to Andy. 

Andy taught us all of the printing terms and Sherry, our graphic designer, babysat us as well.

It is very important to have people whom you trust implicitly because a great deal of money is at stake. 

Our file went to the printer and we were there to check the blue lines as they rolled off the press. It was like having another child - exciting and terrifying all at once.

And it was worth it.
