My book: the update

[gordonzola]

While this is all good news to me, this announcement may sound a little good news/bad news to you folks. But, here it is: I have changed publishers for my book.

The bad news is that it will not be published until early 2010, nearly a full year past the original pub date.

The overwhelmingly good news is that I have reached an agreement with Chelsea Green, a environmentalist press who have put out some of my favorite cheese books (including one that I actually quoted in my manuscript – how incestuous!). I am incredibly excited to be involved with Chelsea Green because I have admired their work for years. Plus, I think they will actually print the book!

I wish my old publisher well. They have put out some books I love and while they are going through some hard times right now, I do think they will eventually rebound. I just couldn’t stay in limbo any longer.

I will link to ordering information and all that when it’s up in a few months, but just wanted to update you all on the state of the Cheesemonger.

Thanks for all your support.

Keep it indie, baby.

It's easy to keep it indie when New York doesn't care!

That's fantastic, G! Keep on rockin'. (Out of curiosity, which of their cheese books do you recommend?)

That's good news. Progress, of sorts.

In related news, when Formaldehyde's sister was here and a two inch tip disappeared from a hunk of Affinois in the fridge, I thought, "Dammit, we all share the rind!" Of course, she knows nothing of that ethic, and she also claimed to never have tasted brie when I eventually brought more evenly distributed slices of it out with crackers a few days later.

I had a contract with M/C for 6 months and I never made their website.

Fuck yeah. That was fast - I mean from when you put it back out there. Right on, Gordon.
