First book review!

I’m pleased to announce that I have my first book review for Master Your Craft!

I got home late last night to find the latest copy of American Craft on my doorstep. American Craft is the member publication of the American Craft Council, and is the pre-eminent magazine for high-end craft. I opened it up, started paging through it, and lo! A book review!

Here’s it is:

I’m thrilled to have my first book review published, especially in such an eminent magazine – super exciting!

And of course, when I read the review, the first thing I did was run to Amazon and check out my sales rank. And it was ranked #115 in the Crafts –> Reference category! That is the highest it has ranked since release – in fact, the next highest ranking was only in the 200’s. Very encouraging!

So yesterday was a wonderfully exciting day. Especially since another marvelous thing also happened – but I’ll tell you about that in my next blog post.
