My book preview

[everlite]

Looks interesting, though the title looks a little stretched and squashed. Might also be a good idea to add 2008, then you can release a new one every year or so. I had my stuff printed into a book last year, only a few for personaly family and friends, that was through lulu.com, surprisingly came out really well. Which publisher are you using?

Some nice wok in your book there degerardo, i particularly like the tree studies and the street with the church.

The submarine matte also looks really good, just one (picky) crit from me- the highlight on the water from the sun in the foreground seems to be in the wrong perspective, as it narrows to a point as it would if the edge of the water were the horizon, except that in your painting the horizon is further back. I think in this case the highlight would be more spread out across the water. However like i said im being picky and i think overall the theme, colours and lighting work really well

keep it up!

Hey Degerardo ,

Usually you need to raise pre-orders and a strong awareness before a publisher will look at taking a book to print. sadly they're only concern is making a good return. You should investigate Lulu.com, using this you can sell it right onto Amazon as soon as you have the pages together. At least this will give a good reflection of sales. Really though the quality of lulu is 100% the one i had made was hard back, full colour and saddle stitched. It might also be worth adding a few tutorials or something in the book, to give an education angle.

Good luck :)

Dave.
