Sometimes life moves too quickly. It was only . . . well, to be honest it seems like just yesterday that the Beechworth Bakery Bear e-books were an idea, let alone released into the wide world.
Robbie Cheadle has posted the first review of e-book (too), and I’m thrilled that she enjoyed it. They are such cute bears and I have an enormous soft spot for them. Here is Robbie’s review.
Thank you, Robbie.

Thank you, Liz.
I’m starting to weaken on the idea of releasing these (and others) in book form. I’ve come to realise that these are all once-only moments. It isn’t possible to go back and have those same conversations with the bears – they are changed. It’s the same with the voices from the Trash and Treasure set. I can take new pictures, but those voices are gone.

You’re thinking that once-only moments aren’t appropriate to develop as print books?

I’m concerned that the quality of my images isn’t quite up to print standard. It’s a bit of a dilemma. They’re ok for e-books, no problem, but the standard for print isn’t quite there. Close, but no cigar.
I can no, of course, take and preserve my images to an acceptable standard for working with, but the moments in the originals aren’t really replicable very easily, if at all.

Oh, now I get it. I’ve been looking into image standards for print as well. Mine are all vintage so a little loss of clarity should still be okay. But I won’t know for sure until I order a test copy.

It’s tricky. I have the e-books for the bears as a hard copy and as a paperback. I am delighted with them (and with the book of Voices from the trash), but my personal delight doesn’t necessarily equate with something that is acceptable.
In the end, I’m such a small fish that I suspect it really doesn’t matter much. Just my own sense of what is ok and what isn’t (and why) to deal with.
