Thanks to all of you who bought a copy of Ten Thousand Stories from us last Tuesday, the day it was released. And thanks to the many other folks who pre-ordered the book elsewhere. We so appreciate the support and excitement you have shared with us throughout this process.

But with any project, the real fun is sending it out and sharing it with others. And so today we took this stack of books…

…added our signatures and the date.

And set them out to let the ink dry.

There were a lot of books, and only so much counter space.

Some sat on my desk.

Some on our work table.

Some on top of boxes and other books.

And some on the changing table.

Eventually, the work was done, the ink was set, and the envelopes were stuffed.

This is what a pile of gratitude looks like.

Which is to say, those of you who have been waiting for your books don’t have to wait much longer.

And if you’ve been meaning to place an order and haven’t gotten around to it yet, it’s certainly not too late.
