(Don't even get me started on Friesens' SUPERdolly...)
But we always bring 2-3 boxes to the office immediately.
These are mostly destined for promotional purposes. Review copies to various media as well as academic journals and desk/exam copies to profs who might wind up using them in their classes.
But we always crack open a box and have a quick congratulatory look-see.
It's the first chance we have, as a staff, to see the culmination of all the steps in the editorial and printing process.
We usually wind up standing in a circle in the main office, muttering about details like the spine, the back cover, how the paper looks.
The look-see for what I persist in calling 'the Foote book' took longer than usual. We had to call Esyllt W. Jones, the book's author so that she could have a look, and several other UMP authors and SJC faculty happened to drop by just after the book arrived.
In a word: fun!
