It's been an insanely busy time for me and our family--getting our wonderful daughter off to college and my seeing the first copies of The Flower Seeker.
Quite frankly, I was stunned by both the hardcover and paperback editions of the book. With gorgeous non-scratch matte finish, deckle edges, and French flaps on the paperback, the books are physically breathtaking. I haven't yet seen the limited edition, which I will be going to Macon soon to sign and number. There are less than 100 of these last ones, so they are going to be quite valuable some day.
Note: At Amazon, the three editions are a bit confusing, but if you scroll down, you will find out what's what. In general, of course, the limited edition costs the most, the hardback is second, and the paperback is the least expensive.
Mercer University Press has always published some fine titles, but with my book and its companion volume, Bartram's Living Legacy, Mercer is rapidly rising up the list of university presses doing among the best work in the field of publishing.
