Hi all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, I have some not-so-good news to share. We had to push back the release of Grow Your Own Spices<\/a> to January 5th because the first shipment of books was damaged in transit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, on the upside, the new copies are all set to be shipped out starting on January 5th. I just received my early copy. So, I can now officially verify that the hardback book is even more beautiful than I imagined! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The binding is sturdy and durable. The image and illustration color is rich and saturated. And the sections are so easy to navigate! It even smells good – no nasty toxic glues here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, as a kind of apology\/consolation for the book not being available for the holidays, I made a video (below) with a tour of some of the pages. In it I also share all sorts of juicy\/insider details about the publishing process — starting with where the idea came from (which may surprise you). I talk about the research\/gardening writing stuff, collaboration with the other contributors, and all the details that go into making the beautiful finished product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
