Shameless self-promotion
This just arrived in the mail:
Coming to a Barnes & Noble near you!
["They spelled your name right!" said Mandy upon reading the byline to my article.]
Funny, they altered the cover somewhat from here with the acquisition of Santana. Props to the awesome editors for the incredibly quick turnaround.
EDIT (February 18, 2008, 12:45 A.M.): Okay, maybe not so awesome. I just read the article and it's riddled with errors -- which I might be nitpicking, but to the people reading it (some of the subjects I interviewed) I'm afraid some of them'll be pretty glaring. I'm sure that had to do with it being a consequence of facts (and my creative muse) coming in last minute, and the Santana thing going down that this kinda fell by the wayside in terms of formatting (mainly the hyphen thing bothered me, the "--", unlike the rest of the articles in the book, which used the em-dash), but as a former (but still anal-retentive) copy-editor, I sort of have to shake my head on this one. Oh well. The book still looks good otherwise and is worth a look.
