Mine is my first published book. I am proud of it because, besides the actually book pressing, I published it completely on my own. My design, my label, mine mine mine! I might seem a bit vain about... because I kind of am LOL! I had a LOT of help with the funding, though. So many people pulled together and helped get it out! It was one of the highlights of my entire creative career. I am still seriously grateful for every single person that helped it along.
I do think there could have been some things that could have been done a little better, but in my mind, it was absolutely prefect. I wanted to get an editor, but the ones I found were too expensive, and I couldn't get anyone I knew to do it. So I just did it myself.
Unfortunately, the creator of any item has a bit of a biased eye, so I can't say what others think of it, but interestingly, I really wasn't that concerned with other's opinions at the time. In hindsight, that was really egotistical, but sometimes you have to be that way in order to actually push through doing something.
We will see how the second one goes and if I shift my pride lol
