Thank you one and all

This project is finally coming to fruition!

While you may think nothing’s been happening for a while on my Ninety Years of Classic San Diego Tiki book project, it has been in reality quite a busy time! The text has been locked down by my editor, scolding me, “no more changes!” Final proofs are approved, printing art is at the printer in Hong Kong, and deposit (your money) wired. We selected Great Wall Printing Company Limited, in Chai Wan, Hong Kong, for their long track record of producing quality art books for publishers such as Insight Editions.

Digital Editions of the book are completed and being submitted to our distribution channels. For you Kickstarter Backers who ordered the print book, log in and look for the link to your free fixed-layout ePUB/PDF copy! This is a large download, but looks great on an iPad or tablet.

Once I get a final completion and ship date from the printer, we can set up some book signing events!

Mucho Mahalo, Martin S. Lindsay

Error! Turns out this image was a layered TIFF file that included extra channels and a masking layer. Flattened, re-saved, and supplied a corrected high-res PDF of this page to the printer. All better…
