Eating Design Book!

I finally received the proof copy of my thesis book, Eating Design, yesterday! It is so exciting to have a 'thing' made and materialized (and then show up at your doorstep:). Especially since most of my work is ephemeral-- I create experiences, and once they are over all that is left are the memories (and some pictures). But it is so neat to have a selection of these projects and other information about my work and eating design all in one place! I am really happy with it. I decided to make a book because of the intimacy a book requires. When you read, it is just you, the book, and your interpretation of the book which I believe parallels the intimacy of the Favorite Meal series. The book format reflects this and honors the individual experiences people have, leaving room for personal interpretation.

**Update--I am so excited that this book has generated so much interest! If you'd like to own a copy, you can buy it directly from the publisher, blurb.com. I have self-published this book, so it won't be found on a bookstore shelf. Each book ordered through blurb is printed per order and all proceeds just pay for the printing of the book. Thank you everyone for all your encouragement and support! **

Thank you to Lalena Dolby, my friend and mentor, who modeled the book for me:).

woot!
