The whole book thing has really just never stopped astonishing me, and I can't wait to see what my work will look like on the printed page.<br /><br />I'm not yet certain what format the puboisher Tin House Books is thinking of yet. I too would love a massive hardcover and I think that would really do the art justice, but with over 550 pieces of art I know that cost is a definite issue. I think they are hoping to keep the book's price at around $40 or less which may have an impact on the size. Hopefully it will stay in print for a while though, and I can see it doing that if it is at a lower price point. I will definitely continue to post details about the book here on this blog as they become known to me. I believe the tentative publication date is some time in October or November of 2011, timed to coincide with the date of the first American publication of "Moby-Dick," which to me is awesome.Matt Kishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17854685960260054407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265792817762899253.post-17580115108909227372010-11-05T19:51:04.223-04:002010-11-05T19:51:04.223-04:00Congratulations, Matt.

I'm not surprised at all that a publisher jumped on it, and I'm psyched that I'll be able to have a copy. <br /><br />Can I just say also that I hope it's a larger-format book? 9" x 12" or something close to the size of the originals would be primo.<br /><br />Cheers from one illustrator of ancient texts to another!Dan Nelsonhttp:www.eyeoftheblackbird.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265792817762899253.post-73000710255038287322010-07-05T17:30:12.135-04:002010-07-05T17:30:12.135-04:00Hello Terresa, and thank you very very much for vi...Hello Terresa, and thank you very very much for visiting and comenting.

Your comments mean a lot to me, and it's kind of weird but very cool knowing that some day a book of my art will hopefully be living on all of your bookshelves. I will keep posting details on the progress of the book as I find them out.
