Now there's an idea for the next one... some easter eggs through the book... find all 27 emoticons (hidden somewhere through the book)

Got mine as well. Thanks again to Chris, Mike and all who submitted images! It's a great record of astrophotography in 2009. Some spectacular images is there, and a very professional-looking product!
Cheers,
Stephen

Thanks for the kind comments Stephen, Michael, Jeanette, Eric, Martin & Stephen. Glad you like the result. Yes, it was lots of work, but spread over a few weeks it really wasn't a difficult thing to put together - because of the loose deadline. Next year's will be started a little earlier as it will, hopefully, be around 230 pages.
Get you images ready folks!

I'd like to stay with the 8" x 8" form factor Alex. There are numerous reasons why it terms of how it's printed, and this also gives the choice of printing it on a web-offset press or digital if required. Larger formats lock you to the long-run process. Besides, the first one is done, and it'd be nice to stack them in year order next to each other on a bookshelf as the years go by...
2 pages per imager - that's a distinct possibility.

And still nothing for me either. Finding out someone else doesn't have theirs either makes it a bit easier but you've still got to wonder whats happening.  I did wonder if the posties had nicked them for themselves because they were such good books....
