Blog postGot my prints in from Amazon, going to compare them with Lulu and Barns and Noble Press to see which prints look best.
So far I like the way matte cover feel, but from Amazon I notice they always have spots of glue all over the cover, so they don’t have good quality look to them when they arrive. I’d hate to order 30 of these for a book signing and most are riddled with these glue spots. Not sure what is going on with the printers, but maybe they should look into it.

Judith is the 1st rank churiphim of The Order of The Sons of Light.
