A Few Things

Spent last evening reviewing the proofs for the front and back covers of the book. Everything looks great and I couldn't be more pleased. We're going to be ordering test prints of the book hopefully by Monday, and if all goes well, it should be on sale three or four days after that. I know my time schedule has been off several times before, but we're almost there, trust me, and I appreciate both your patience and your continuing interest. It means a lot.

I watched Munich last night, an excellent film. Generally I loathe anything Spielberg is involved in, and I was reluctant to watch this because it seemed like the political angle was hardly objective, but with the events taking place in the Middle East, the film was both timely and well crafted. If you can get past your ideology for a few hours, this is a well told narrative, with some beautiful photography, and reluctantly I must admit, it was quite powerful. I'm going to watch Syriana tonight, and hopefully it's just as compelling.

A few recommendations for multimedia sites: the new Nike project, and this one from DQ Books. Both are incredible in my opinion.
