Book Award

I was very excited to learn that Digital Essentials was a USA Book News Best Book award finalist!

In part …

USA BOOK NEWS ANNOUNCES WINNERS AND FINALISTS OF THE NATIONAL “BEST BOOKS 2009” AWARDS

LOS ANGELES – USABookNews.com, the premiere online magazine and review website for mainstream and independent publishing houses, announced the winners and finalists of THE NATIONAL “BEST BOOKS 2009″ AWARDS (NBBA).  Digital Essentials: The Quilt Maker’s Must-Have Guide to Images, Files, and More! by Gloria Hansen was the 2009 Finalist in the Technology/Computers/Internet business category.

I’m grateful for the additional exposure the award gives to the book.  I also appreciate the many people who write telling me how much they learned from the book and how they are recommending it.  Word of mouth is a great thing — especially when some quilt stores are hesitant about the book because it’s viewed as a computer book while some people involved with computers are hesitant because it’s directed at quiltmakers.

If you want to know more about the book, click here.  You can download a free PDF chapter on image protection on the Web.   Soon I’ll be adding the table of contents of the book to that area.

    Congratulations, Gloria, a well-deserved award indeed! I’ve given your book to several friends, and keep my copy handy at all times. Learning to process multiple images through Photoshop (instad of one at a time!) was the tip worth it’s weight in gold!!!
