I loved the book and I looooooooved the idea. I am going to steal it straight away. I wrote a cookbook that I want to give away to my readers. But it is sitting on a shelf for the lack of images of the dishes. I am now going to draw them. But I will take me a year to do that, so my readers will have to wait for it till next Christmas. :)

You got it!. Just a question, where have you uploaded your book? Is it on Substack itself or somewhere else? I read ‘Amazon’ in the link.

Can't imagine why it says Amazon. I created a pdf file on my laptop and loaded the pdf file directly to a Substack draft. I drag-and-drop my pdf file from where it is in my laptop to the Substack draft. I can only do this pdf upload on my laptop not on my smartphone. My email newsletter is the only place this books ebook version exists. I did a video flip-through of the original artist book on my YouTube. Does this answer your question?

“Portraits of Loved Books"

Sue Clancy and Judy Sullens

a gift book for Jolabokaflod

📖

Clancy, Sullens' grace,

Portraits of books interlace,

Jolabokaflod's embrace.

In a cocoa sky,

Books like stars, warm tales alight,

Heaven in each sip.

Steam swirls, tales unfold,

In mugs of chocolate gold,

Heaven's story told.

Velvet chocolate dreams,

Pages whisper, hearts aglow,

Heaven softly beams.

Whispers in the steam,

Books and cocoa blend in bliss,

Heavenly dream streams.

~Thank you for the heartwarming gift.

Gloria
