I received an e-mail last week from Jen, a young woman who is getting married soon. She wanted to use a coffee-table book for guests to sign-in to at the wedding. She found a book that I contributed to, a photo rich book on Bucks County, Pennsylvania where she lives also. I thought this was a unique and neat idea. So after a bit of emailing back and forth, we agreed to meet at our local Starbucks (where else) so she could see the book and determine if it would work.
The book itself was published in 1994 and has been redone and published twice since, each time selling out. These are small production run books and very nicely printed. I have 24 images in this edition, including a double-page spread. What makes the book work for the guest sign-in usage is the generous white area around most of the pictures.
I met Jen this morning, we talked, looked through the pages, and she bought the book.

Congrats to you both.
