Amazingly good press...yikes...

So the best news of the summer is that just prior to the NY book fair, I had a call from a reporter at the Portland Press Herald. He told me that an anonymous someone had suggested that Lux Mentis would be a good candidate for a business profile and would I be interested in being interviewed? I tried to hide the sound of my jumping up and down while telling him that I would love to, but was packing for a book fair. "Perfect," he said, "the photographer will love that." Admittedly, it is slightly more interesting than capturing me while I am cataloguing *laughing*.

So he (and the photographer) came by a few days later. He interviewed me for a couple of hours or so and we exchanged a few emails afterward. The article came out while I was in NY at the Carriage House show. I knew it was out because I started getting calls from friends, clients and others starting at about 9am Friday morning. I am still getting calls that start with, "I saw that nice article about you..."

The article was quite amazing. It was pretty much 1/3 of the front page of the Business section and then a column or so on the back page of the section. Remarkable.

There was a spelling error or two and a misquote or two as well, but truth be told, I could not have written as nice an article about us *g*. My biggest regret is that one of the pictures included in the article was of a wonderful binding by a genuinely talented binder here in Maine, Julie Stackpole. The picture was wonderful, but they did not include her name in the caption, which I think was a miss. I am hoping that it is because they plan to do a similar profile about her bindery...it would be far more interesting.

I have posted a .pdf of the article here. Sadly, it does not include the images...if you really want to see it in all its glory, email me and I'll send you a copy (I have MANY *laughing*). All together too much fun.
