I spent this afternoon putting a book together. Not my own, but a family book filled with reminiscences and photos. It was well written, and a joy to work on, getting to know the family, even though they are long gone. The photos are from the early 1900's, and are amazing, beautiful people, and farms.
I often edit, as a service of Lizard Leaf Publishing, and sometimes dread it. Poorly written prose, and grammatical errors make it difficult to continue with the project, but slog on I do.
Knowing the person who asked me to help compile this book, the editing portion of the task, I figured, would be easy. And it was.
Thank you to this author, who knows how to write, I spent an afternoon doing a pleasant task. An experience not often encountered in the publishing business.
