The Book is Back!

After some misadventure, I finally got my hands on the proof copy of the second edition of my theater set design book, Alice Through the Proscenium.  (Catching the FedEx guy just as he was about to leave the package on the door mat - In The Rain.)

The cover for the upcoming second edition - copyrighted, obviously

Woohoo!

It's not bad.  Of course there's something funny about the spine, several images need higher rez scans, and one needs to be redrawn to have more legible lettering, but on the whole pretty good.  It has a nice heft.  And the cover is so so glossy.

Coming soon...

Meanwhile, this Spring's Apprenticeship Program has begun at Stage West Theatre.   Yesterday we met for the first time... a very promising and accomplished group!  I'm looking forward to this program.  More to come...

Kindle Editions

At long last, my how-to set design book Alice Through the Proscenium is e-available on Kindle!

You can find it (and its paperback version too) at Amazon HERE.

For the other about 27% of you e-readers, it's still available in ePub format for NOOK and other gizmos.  And, of course, for all us dead-tree fetishists, it comes in paper from the printer Lulu HERE.  I still tend to recommend the paper version because the pictures are bigger and the glossary works better, but the e-versions are much improved lately.  (I finally downloaded it myself.)

In other publishing news...  I recently did some little illustrations for favorite John Donne love poems.  (Couldn't find a cheap/free e-version I liked, so made my own.  Isn't e-publishing cool?)  Anyway, this is now available at both Amazon Kindle and Barnes & Noble NOOK.  There are wonderful things inside, including Donne's Greatest Hit, "Go and catch a falling star..."
