Thanks for the kind comments (I'll pass'em on to the wonderous FHP publisher, Caryl, who made the cover).<br /><br />A chapbook is, in simplest terms, a small book. I don't know if there's an exact size definition, but likely well under 100 pages. That's why poets so commonly publish them--a shocking amount of meaning can package up quite small in poetic form. But fictioneers do'em too--novellas and, in my case, mini-story-collections (just 2 stories).<br /><br />Because they are so little, chapbooks are hard to market and sell. You never see these at Indigo, for example. Often--in Canada at least--chapbook publishers go for quality rather than quantity, printing a very small run of chapbooks but making each object a real thing of beauty. That's, in my opinion, the case with Frog Hollow. There won't be all that many copies of *Road Trips* printed, but they're gonna be lovely. There's even a couple internal illustrations that I am rather in love with.<br /><br />I really hope you guys like the stories, but as a *thing*, I know you'll like the books.<br /><br />RRRebecca Rosenblumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10859985178895250412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403642865904161814.post-63750597781993581512010-05-04T20:04:39.978-04:002010-05-04T20:04:39.978-04:00I have purchased my copy too!

No, that is impossible.)AMThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04043299823746418746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403642865904161814.post-41919902239605287202010-05-04T18:31:48.094-04:002010-05-04T18:31:48.094-04:00I can't wait to get mine.I can't wait to get mine.Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13169971552802919035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403642865904161814.post-91696650934153067462010-05-04T18:19:05.061-04:002010-05-04T18:19:05.061-04:00If there's any left by the 17th, I'll be p...If there's any left by the 17th, I'll be purchasing a copy.

It seems like it is a book, but then the promo stuff implies it is not an official book. Wikipedia is useless. Help!Da Ferdbidnoreply@blogger.com
