Thoughts on Interaction Design

So the book went to press today.

:D

We are working with Horizon Printing in Austin, TX - Justin has done some previous work with them, and they submitted a very, very competitive bid on the text. We are printing an initial run of 1000, and after we judge demand, we can - as necessary - print more. I hope there is demand :)

This is why you work with a professional graphic designer when you do something through production: Paul asked our rep for an "ink draw" and requested a "caliper for the book paper size" in order to "build the spine". It's all greek to me.

The book is also live on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. Somehow, the sales rank on B&N changes from day to day (by as many as 50,000), but I have no idea what happens when someone buys there. Amazon is listing the book at a discount, which makes me wonder - couldn't I just buy my own book there and resell it, making $10 each time?

Thoughts on Interaction Design showed up today ;-) The book looks great; the paper quality is strong, the green is fantastic, and the quality of print is just perfect. It feels, well, real.

So go and buy a copy: you can buy one from me directly, or over at Amazon. And if you read it, and actually like it, write a nice review or drop me a line to let me know your thoughts on interaction design.
