After what seemed to be an inordinately long amount of time (yet in the scheme of publishing was quite quick) our first copies of Great Golf Down Under arrived in our offices.

This was indeed an exciting time where all the months of preparation had finally come to the point of a finished product.

I felt like a child on Christmas morning opening up a present. There was a lot of anticipation which was interesting because unlike a child we knew what was contained within the boxes. But nevertheless it was an exciting time to unload the boxes off the truck (all 625 boxes...took us about an hour and a half) and get them into our office.

As you would imagine our offices looked like a bomb had hit the place - there were boxes everywhere. The good thing about this though was that a large number of the books were going straight out the door again - presales going to a variety of golf clubs and other clients.

It took us a good few days to sort out the rest of the boxes and get the office back into a semblance of normality.
