Excitement mounts

We're just a few days short of D-day - the day the Cybersecurity Hyperglossary Drops into an unsuspecting world with something of a dull thud.

Today I received my author copies and all of a sudden it's become real. For the ten months I've been working with Taylor & Francis on the book, it has been entirely virtual, just characters on the screen. Likewise for the 20-odd years prior. Once it grew beyond a couple of hundred pages, it was no longer worth the paper and toner to print it out, given that it was changing constantly. I've been poring over, working through and revising the digital content for so long now that I'd lost touch with the physical reality of an actual book.

And so, ta-daaaaa, here it is!

It is on its way from the printers via wholesalers to retailers as I speak, ready for the big launch on Monday.

I'll be wandering about the place with a silly grin on my face 'til then.

Kind regards/Ngā mihi,

Gary

Congratulations!

(Every time I got my author copies, Gloria would hold a "book signing" party with the family :-)
