Thank you Chris, printers and Mike!

After 3-4 days under about 40 kgs of weights my book came out almost perfect nice and straight with only one crease evident and I would probably done that opening the book anyway.
Its a credit to the people who put this book together, keep up the good work (maybe next year I'll be taking photos as good as the one's in the book )

Mine arrived today, thankfully the postman was kind and kept the book flat! Looks bloody awesome, could use a sealer or laminate on the covers but that's just the nit-picky printer coming out in me

Once again, a huge thanks to Chris, Mike and all contributors, I hope to have my own image in the next edition!!!

Ben.

I've just been informed by SWMBO that my copy has arrived! Now I just have to get through this reverse time dilation that seems to be affecting my office, making this the slowest day ever, so I can finally see it

I agree Ben - I'm going to apply some Contact clear book covering to the cover to keep it in good nick.

I'm in for the next if it does eventuate. I missed the boat this year due to work commitments, but purchased a copy to support the endeavour. Nothing like finding inspiration and ideas from others.

It'll definitely happen again next year.

It was a lot of work, especially for Chris, but the results speak for themselves.

Next years is planned to be bigger and better - more contributors, more pages..

We'll start talking about that one in a few months I guess.
