6-52: the book

Agnes: Alright guys, I think this may have gone too far.

Bruno: What do you mean gone too far? You're sitting right beside me.

Agnes: I mean this book. I'm not entirely comfortable with attention from people beyond my core group.

Bruno: That may be the craziest thing that you've ever said. Attention from random strangers is great. They all love me.

Eva: I think the book looks great. It captures my true spirit - intelligent, beautiful and humble.

Bruno: I take excellence to that.

Eva: Don't you mean "exception to that"?

Bruno: Nope. Definitely excellence to that. I'm excellent at intelligence.

Eva: Sometimes I don't think you hear yourself.

Bruno: Sometimes I hear too much of you. And hey - who's that handsome dog sitting on that hill in the placemat?

Agnes: Dude, it's you!

Bruno: I knew that. Because he's handsome and I'm excellent at intelligence.

Eva: And also, it's a page proof from the book - not a placemat.

Bruno: I disagree. It's a placemat because anything that you put food on is a placemat. So I'm just going to sit here and stare until someone puts a big pile of cookies down on it.

This is an exciting time. For about the past year and a half I have been working on a book of dogversattions. It is now so close to done that it is starting to feel real.

 

There will be two versions of the book. On the table are page proofs of an interior page, the cover (partly hidden) and a 'test print' of the premium version which is landscape format and on glossy paper. This will be the version that I am getting a print run on with 1,000 copies being shipped to me later this week. I have arrangements to sell this through a couple of local book stores and the University of Saskatchewan. A portion of the UofS sales will be donated to the vet college companion fund to pay for treatments of animals in need.

 

Because of printing and general distribution costs of this version would be too high, we are also putting together a smaller square format non-glossy version that will be available through on-line sellers such as Amazon and be available to be stocked in physical book stores around the world.

 

More information will be on my website in the next couple of weeks. www.DogversationsBook.com

 

And by the way - Bruno was mostly right about the placemat. There was a motivational cheerio on the book that I cloned out in post-processing.
