Design Call

Posted: 09/03/2008

I just got off the phone with my design consultant and am relieved to be in the home stretch of publishing! This has been a long process but I can't wait to hold the book in my hands, and better yet, see it on the shelves! I should be getting proofs within the next 3 weeks and we'll go from there. Look out for the book coming in early November 2008! www.littlegabbybooks.com
