civilized ku # 2020 ~ the best ever, most perfect holiday gift - what I want for Xmas

Zuiko Digital ED 45 mm f/1.8 lens - under the Xmas tree. However, what I didn't tell Santa about was my desire to buy from / swap picture books with some of the followers of The Landscapist (what I really want for Xmas).

Santa managed what I interpreted to be a favorable nod to the lens idea but she, once again I mean he, would have reacted far less favorably to the photo book buy/swap idea. Santa knows who's been naughty or nice / good or bad and, from my experience, she (ok, I give up - in my house Santa's a she) knows that most, if not all of The Landscapist followers are bad when it comes to making POD photo books.

Maybe I should have asked Santa for a number of sets of photo-book-making cajones to be doled out to some of The Landscapist followers out there (figuratively speaking, of course, for the ladies in the crowd). I mean, seriously, what's it gonna take to get some you off the mark on this idea? Maybe some of you could include the idea on your New Year's resolutions list.

What's the harm in trying? If you just can't get it done to your satisfaction, no one is going to make you stand in the corner wearing a dunce hat.

FYI, I have been quite pleased with the sales of the Twig book. It's very gratifying to know that it will be viewed in the US of A, Canada, Europe, and Australia. I also find it interesting that most of the sales are to Landscapist followers who have never commented on the blog nor had any prior contact with me. Very nice.
