Press check… and press!

After a frantic rush to get the files ready and to the printer on time for today’s press check, the very lovely Amanda came through with all the corrections and not a hint of a complaint (thank you Amanda!).  My heart bled a little during press check when I saw how much wasted paper is required to print one series of books.  The first few dozens are just test prints that are completely wasted.  I was reassured by the workers at the printing house that all wasted paper is recycled.  But I still felt a pang of guilt.

And then the first of my beautiful Fall 10 lookbooks came down the press line, literally hot off the press!  I was so excited I stuck around after approving the proofs and waited for the rest of the books to be finished.  And then I lugged all 1000 of them back to my studio, ready to be distributed to the masses.

PS: If any of you want one, just email me with your mailing address and I’ll send one to you.  I have 1000 of them after all!
