Campus Coffee Table Book Update - Christmas Deadlines and Also Now Offered as an eBook

My book featuring my photography of the Tech campus is available for purchase on the Blurb on-demand publishing website. It features 80 pages of campus pictures that I have taken over the last six years.

Reflections - A Campus Tour

This is what the cover looks like:



You will need to create a free account at the Blurb website before you can purchase a book. There is a soft cover and a hard back version available and the size is 7"x7".

In my opinion, the hard back version looks more professional. I'm hoping this takes off well enough so I can get a local company to print the book for a lower cost. Blurb takes out its cost per book before I make a profit.

(Update - 11/3/2011) The promo code for November is GIVEGIFTS. The promo is good on two or more printed books (eBooks excluded) and it is good for 20% off your order. Make sure you type in the promo code with all CAPS!

You can now purchase the book as an ebook for your iPad or iPhone. The ebook option is now available on the order page and you can download an electronic version of the book for $4.99.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Texas Tech Picture of the Week - #30

The holiday lights being removed from large wooden spools is a familer sight across campus during October and November. Crews string up strand after strand of lights for the annual Carol of Lights on the Texas Tech campus.

The photo above was taken during the month of January when crews were busy taking down the lights and putting them back on the spools to put into storage until the next holiday season.
