Today was an exciting day as I received the first ever copy to be printed and published of 'The Layman's Guide To Mamod Steam Engines'. I will not go on about how much time, effort and dedication went into this book but I will say that I am so glad a book like this is out there for people to gain knowledge about this truly great British live toy steam brand.
The full colour version of this book is truly beautiful to look at and read (and personally, out of perfect bound and coil bound, coil bound is much easy to browse through the book and read). Up till now, I have been purchasing pre-releases of the book in black and white to reduce costs when it comes to proof reading and editing since it was much cheaper to print.
I had to purchase many prints to give to people to proof read! (12 in total!) |
Any feedback on the book is greatly appreciated if you emailed me your feedback in the Contact page or if you submitted a review directly onto Lulu.
As I have said many times to the people that have contributed to this book and my fellow friends, I would rather sell not many of these books and get great feedback from those that purchased it than sell many and get bad feedback from those that bought it.
All the best,
Will
