I am right there with you, girl. I made three (3!!!) books this weekend, each of them worse than the one before. I too learned a lot and like you, I'm bound and determined to nail it for the final. All this to say, you aren't alone. On the bright side, WHEN (not if) we do an amazing job on the final, the shock and awe will be that much better :)
Your book press looks amazing, by the way!
