I received my copy today (ummm I mean Wednesday). Schmoo, I will agree with you, it's AWESOME clap
April, you almost got me in trouble with my wife with that endearing photo of me and my camera. She said it confirmed her position as #2 in my life I told her she miscounted, she forgot about the sports car and computer D
Great job Schmoo!! (And all photogs!) I saw the UPS truck, but the guy went upstairs...so I went up and the receptionist said "No packages today." I was so said, but logged on to UPS tracking info and saw that it said "DELIVERED" and had a partial signed by name of someone on the third floor...so I tracked them down and got my package. Now, most of my co-workers have seen the book and they all agree...it's great!!
Well, I am amazed! Found the book on the dinner table when I got home from work late tonight. Ripped open the packaging and, well, gosh! Schmoo, you have done an absolutely fantastic job on this project. And everyone who took all those great shots deserves applause too.
I didn't expect a cover sheet or the hard binding. That's a bonus. Just beautiful.

And Tony... You looked so cute! I still can't believe you carried that tripod all the way on that hike!
I got my book last week, and was blown away by the quality of the images and the thought that went into the text and layout. You really did an amazing job! I've already made all of my family and house guests look it over, and they all enjoyed it.
My congratulations go out to all the photographers that contributed to the book, and some who's pictures didn't make it in. No disrespect to you for your editing, but I'm certain some of their shots deserved it more than some of mine that did get in. It really is a talented group, and I'll be going back to the book for inpiration and motivation throughout the year.

Just to be clear, I pulled the images from the "Best of" thread and the resulting gallery of images that was created specifically to showcase photos taken by people who had given consent to be published. In one or two cases I had to directly contact people who had expressed interest but hadn't submitted images by the time I started the layouts. To the best of my knowledge there were no shooters from the trip who were cut who wanted to be in, and I tried to use as many images as possible from the pool of donations. In some cases there were just too many per shooter, but overall having to drop photos was rare.
If for some reason this was not the case, send me an e-slap via PM!
Awesome work, guys! And Jim, that is a very good question.... Might wanna ask the big boss.

If anyone didn't make it into the book, they have no one to blame but themselves.
