The door bell rang — it was the postman. He had a package that wouldn’t fit through the letter box, so I buzzed him in and padded down the stairs in bare feet. Waiting for me was a package from Chronicle Books. Could it be…. ? I ran back back up the stairs (not a small feat), stood in my kitchen and ripped open the mailer. And there it was — the book I created with Jen and Amanda. :) There’s not much light today but I had to take a Polaroid of it — and here are the Instagram shots taken as I first looked through the pages. A red letter day, frends!
* The book won’t actually be available till May, but you can pre-order (and possibly get it sooner) on Amazon…
Congratulations! The book looks wonderful – and it must be an amazing feeling to have it in your hands after you have worked so hard for it.
(And I’m instantly in love with it ;-))
I think all my spare pennies will be going on your books this year Susannah, it looks amazing!! I actually got your pretty polaroid notes for Christmas too and I can’t stop looking at them :)
Congratulations!! it’s your baby come to life~ I know you must be thrilled and I am sure it will sell sell sell!!!

Congratulations!!! I would love to have it but I see that is only available for USA, Canada and UK … when you think about putting it on sale for Latin America? Or how I could buy it and send it to Colombia? hugs.
congratulations…that is so exciting! another baby for you! woo hoo…
Wonderful! It looks amazing. Can imagine you felt pretty excited about it. Must be such a magical feeling to go through the pages, see your own words and images ‘black (or colourful) on white’. Congratz! Looking forward to explore it myself in a couple of months … :)
Congratulations.

tell me, not only to use for Polaroids isn’t it?

I really can’t wait to own this beautiful book. Reading your blog inspired me to buy my sx-70 a few years ago, I remember watching your ‘meet the camera’ video and ‘instantly’ falling in love. Looks like this book will be a great source of inspiration and information x Congratulations!
