Galleys

A while back I received the galleys for my 100 Washington, DC Artists book. I read them several times, trying really hard to find errors, knowing that no matter how hard I try, there will be some errors and wherever that error lands, some artist will be eternally pissed off at me.

I did find one error, and I corrected it. But I know that there are more out there, waiting to bite me in the ass after the book is published.

The book goes to print next week.

Order your copy here.

PS - By the way, over at Amazon, the book had been steadily holding a position at the 600-700,000 ranking, but there was one interesting day when it cracked the top 1,000 ranking.
