The blackguard book sneak preview

nacho · October 12th, 2005, 03:48 PM

Ok guys, I dont know if I should do this, but here are some pics of the first book I got from the binder, number 4001. The number is hot stamped in silver foil right in the cover pic where the serial number was supposed to be. All books come in this fashion, along with a hard shell slip in case which is not picture (hey lets leave some room for suprise). Its a heavy book I will tell you this much!!!
I came back from the hospital without my wife and new baby born Ana (she was born Monday, 9 pounds weight!). They will hopefully be here with me tomorrow. My two princesses were waiting for their Mum and new sister and already dressed for the party so they got a little dissapointed. Anyhow, I am really excited cause Mum and baby are both fine now, I and couldnt resist to include a couple of pics of the family.
Cheers!
Nacho

Oh man. I'm freaking out. The book looks amazing. I had to stop looking 'cause I don't want to ruin the first time.

Congrats on the baby! Is that three daughters? Me too. It's ok, I tells ya.

Nacho, congratulations on the new family member and all my best wishes
to Ana, her mother and of course the rest of your family.
4 girls in the house - you must be a very special guy

Concerning the Blackguard book, all I can say is, that it's a piece of art.
You really should be a proud man for both reasons - your new daughter and the exceptional work you did on this book.

Dave Yeats · October 12th, 2005, 04:28 PM

Nacho, nice work. The pictures are beautiful.

Oh, and the blackguard book looks good, too. ;)

Now that you have three little girls in the house, we have something else in common. We'll have to form a support group when they're all teenagers.

Great work, my friend. The serial number for the book on the bridge plate was a brilliant idea. I can't wait to see mine!

dean · October 12th, 2005, 04:35 PM

As the proud father of two girls, two boys, a granddaughter, and a grandson, I feel your excitement. There's nothing like bringing a new baby home! Congratulations and best of everything for your beautiful family!

To celebrate the arrival of your newest child, I just placed my order for your magnificent book. I look forward to reading it (and drooling over it

)
