We cranked out a book on the San Francisco Giants after they won their first World Series since moving to the Bay Area. Let me say this, what a break it was for us that the Giants won instead of the Rangers. It looks like it will be our best-selling book yet, and Costco and other stores all sold out of it. It was an absolute whirlwind. We literally wrote the book, designed it and sent it to the printers in a span of 22 hours. Literally, we produced the entire book in one day. It’s nice to know that when the clock is ticking, we can do it that quickly, but it’s not the best way to go.
What I love about our championship books www.sport-publishing.com (see all 10 books here) is how it captures the excitement of what it means for a team to win a title for their city. It’s like a 144 page time capsule, and the Giants book is our best yet. The cover has a great photo of Tim Lincecum holding the World Series trophy with an army of photographers and media members behind him. It’s a simple photo that grabs your eye, and the Giants team colors, Orange and black are really appealing. Great job to everyone involved on the team of producing these books in a breakneck pace.
Next up—the BCS Championship book on either Oregon or Auburn, and than a special book we’ve got planned for the spring that has the potential to be absolutely huge. It’s not sports related, but if we pull it off, we’ll be getting some major attention across the country. I’ll keep you posted!
