Orders Now Being Accepted For My First Paperback Book. APUG Members Get First Dibs

Matthewt · Jan 31, 2006

The size is 8 x 6 inch. Open size is 16 x 6 inch. The book is genuine 4-color offset printing with real ink on paper just like any high-quality book or magazine. The paper is extra thick and heavy, archival quality, acid-free paper. The binding is professional-quality perfect binding just like paperback books you buy in bookstores. There will be 19 images in the book (all black and white--no words). The images will be a variety of Pinhole, 35mm, and, or Holga. Each copy is $30.00 USA with priority shipping included. International orders are welcome as well, but the price will be $35.00 USA with shipping included. I would also be donating $3 per book sold to Sean and Apug to help Sean keep this great site running. All books will be signed and numbered. Limited to 100 copies. If all sell, we will have raised $300 for APUG. Please view my personal gallery (there was a url link here which no longer exists) to view some of the images that are included ( I tried to upload more but the system said I reached my daily limit). I accept PayPal to Tourtell@bellsouth.net or you can contact me for more ordering options. I look forward to doing business with you. By the way, Sean said this was ok by him....Matt.....added 2-1-06 Here is a link to all 19 images that are in the portfolio http://blackandwhite.photosite.com/SeriesOne/

Sensanjay gets #4 and a fellow APUG member from Norway gets # 5. I want to thank you all for viewing this thread and thank you to those who have purchased already. I look forward to many more orders. I wish everyone a great day.....Matt

Maybe you'd like to provide an external link to your work, to encourage non-subscribers to reach into their pockets as well.

Matthewt · Feb 1, 2006

That is a good point jvarsoke. Here it is http://blackandwhite.photosite.com/SeriesOne/ I actually didn't think about non-APUg members. Thanks for bringing that up.....Matt

Matthewt · Feb 1, 2006

The above link is working if you want to check things out. Sales are going good. Don't miss your chance to own one. I am only printing 100 of them. Thank you very much.....Matt

Very striking stuff. Not really my cup-o-tea in subject matter, but excellent execution.

Thank you jvarsoke for your kind words. Six have already been bought. 7-100 are still available to all who are interested in making a purchase. Don't miss a great opportunity. Thanks.

Matthewt · Feb 2, 2006

Good morning to all. Just a quick update for you. #'s 7-100 are still available for purchase. If you don't want to purchase one for yourself, they do make nice gifts for family and friends. I wish everybody a great day.

Matthewt · Feb 3, 2006

Good Friday afternoon to each and every one of you. I wish you all a great weekend and I hope your Superbowl team wins. I still have some portfolio books available. Just wanted to give you all a heads-up. Thank you very much and I look forward to hearing from you...Go Steelers!!!

Matthewt · Feb 6, 2006

Ok Folks, 7-100 are still available for purchase. I am offering them here first before I start to sell them elsewhere. I just wanted to give you all a heads-up. Thanks.....Matt

Matthewt · Feb 7, 2006

Just an update for you. #7 is gone. That leaves #8-100. Thank you for your time and your interest in my portfolio. Have a great day!

Matt,

Some interesting images there. From the words in your description it sounds like you are using mypublisher.com. Have you seen one of their photo books? What is the quality like - how does it compare with good inkjet?

Thanks,
Helen

Helen, you are correct. I have seen their work. I did a proof book before I started selling them. The paper they use is very thick. I was actually surprised at the quality of their work. To me, it is far superior to any inkjet. The book felt inside and out just like a regular softcover photo book you can buy at any bookstore. Thanks a lot for looking. If you are interested, I still have some available.

Book Sale To APUG Members Is Now Closed.

Just a heads up for all APUG Members. The book sale is closed for APUG. I do appreciate all those that ordered and all those that read this thread. I will be sending Sean his portion of the sales shortly. Thank you all very much.

bobfowler · Feb 16, 2006

Very well done!

Just a quick post to let Matt and the rest of the community know that my copy of his book arrived today. There really are some splendid images here. Having never seen the original prints, I can only base my opinion of the book printing on what I see on the page - and that is pretty damned good!

Well done Matt!
