a bad lookbook is forever.

So says my friend Kurt. And Andy. They both say it.

When you see the new lookbook, you are going to have to wipe saliva off your keyboard. (I could be a teensy bit biased...) I've seen the first layouts, and they are fantastic.

The pain of being kept waiting for the lookbook? It'll be gone in sixty seconds. But the pain from a bad lookbook, one that is hurried and sloppy? That's forever.

We are going to have a small number of lookbooks printed, mostly for local yarn shops and their customers. The digital version will be available with a nifty e-zine viewer, where you can turn pages, zoom in and out, and interact with images more than you've been able to in the past.

If I know you as well as I think I do, some of you are going to want a printed copy. You don't have an LYS that carries our yarn near you, or you're one of those people who likes to physically hold something in your hand.

We need to know if there's enough interest to make the printed version available to the public. If we were to print them, we would have a pre-sale so we would know how many copies to make. (As it turns out, my hubs does not want 1,000 extra copies of the lookbook in our basement! Fancy that!) The cost for the printed edition would be in the neighborhood of $5, but you would also receive a $5 coupon to use on any future order. (Lookbooks, it turns out, are quite expensive to print!)

What say you? (This is not a commitment to buy anything, just an interest survey.)
