It has probably been a year since I first ordered the book from Alinea and just on a week ago when I finally received that long awaited email - the book was in the post. There's no counting on the mysteries of the mail system between Australia and the world so I was beyond surprised to see this package on my doorstep today.
There were a few benefits to pre-ordering - one was that you got this lovely slip cover that isn't available anywhere else
and then of course there's the true star of the whole thing - the actual Alinea Book
And for us patient folk, the books have all been signed
I certainly look forward to slowly savouring this book - there's no reason to rush things.
Oh cool you got yours signed! :D
ReplyDeleteWould you believe I found this book at Costco? It's a big box wholesale club horrid store in NJ.
ReplyDeleteIt was only $30.
I only found it because zenchef and other bloggers told us about it!
Wow, there are some miracles out there!
It's a gorgeous book.
All the pre-orders through Alinea were signed - took them 4 days to do it!
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful book Stacey and you certainly got it for a steal!
Signed? You lucky girl! Can't wait to see the inspiration it gives you!
ReplyDeleteIt's inspiring me though I don't think I have room for a pacojet just yet ;)
