MV, baby!

Today, between planning law and swimming, I took BART to San Francisco and delivered my final manuscript for Images of America: Mountain View to my editor at Arcadia Publishing's office. (Then she treated me and the author of Images of America: Tiburon to lunch. Yay free lunch!)

This means, folks, that the book itself, is donezo and out of my hands!

I still have to help Arcadia market the book effectively, but the hard part is over. The cover has already been sent to the printer and the title should soon pop up on Amazon and Arcadia's page once I finish the marketing survey they want me to fill out.

And it's a good book. I put a lot of work into it, and I think people will be happy with the results. I hope. They can buy it in conjunction with Images of America: Moffett Field, which apparently is just about to get published as well. I'm truly excited that so much more of Mountain View's history is going to be out there now on the shelves for people to discover with my book at the Moffett Field one. My book. Ohhhhh that sounds nice. My book.

I decided to not include the my middle initial in my name for the book's cover, but as Chris Atwood has made a point of saying lately:

"The A in Nicholas A. Perry now stands for Author."

Teehee.

Oh....and as 7:08 pm in Berkeley, it's still light out (benefit of daylight savings) and it hasn't rained for the past three or four hours. So hurray for the bottom of my jeans finally getting a chance to dry out.
