I first heard on Sunday. Amazon had copies of my book in stock and would be shipping them this week. I thought they wouldn’t start arriving until Friday, but this morning, a few friends got in touch to say that they’d gotten their copies today.
And then, when I checked my own mail, I found one waiting for me there (because I am a goofball, I ordered myself a copy through Amazon. I wanted the experience of having it appear in that familiar box).
I don’t entirely know how to articulate how this all feels. I’m thrilled, nervous and entirely freaked out. All I can say is that I hope you guys like it and that it finds a comfortable place in your kitchens.
I received my copy yesterday and it is a BEAUTIFUL book! I love the lead in sections and I am so excited to start canning using your recipes. And the paper quality and layout is gorgeous. Great job! 🙂
Wow! I just heard about this book through my Simple Bites subscription. I checked it out on Amazon and the book looks amazing. I have a friend who used to can the most wonderful pickles. She stopped because it was so much work. I have always wanted to tackle canning myself (to try and recreate those pickles!) but it seemed so intimidating and labor intensive. Your small batch approach looks like something I could definitely handle and your book looks like just what I need to get started!
I had preordered your book back in March. I got an email from Amazon earlier this week to say it was shipping early. Yeah! It was on the porch yesterday when I got home from work. I only had time to flip through a few pages before my regularly scheduled life settled in, but I have plans to get up close and personal with it tonight. From what little I saw of it, it is beautiful and I can’t wait to dive in! Congratulations!
It’s great, Marisa; I like the size, the paper, the design, the stories . . . and the recipes. It’s been a pleasure to look through this evening.
exciting! I am sure it’s going to be a smashing success! 🙂
I just ordered a copy – can’t wait to get it!! Congratulations!
Saw your post here and immediately popped over to Amazon to order it with Prime. I can’t wait until it comes! It was telling me it takes an extra 1-2 days to process though. Hopefully not! I’ve been trying to only get books from the library, but I don’t think I can wait that long to check it out. Can’t wait to read it!! Congratulations!
Congrats! My copy is on its way – can’t wait!
Congratulations! I’m thrilled to see you with growing success and wish you much more.
Can’t wait to get a copy and have you sign it at the class I’m taking with you in L.A.
Beautiful and inspirational! Mine came today 🙂
So very exciting. I can’t even imagine. Maybe one day. In the meantime, congratulations to you! What a huge accomplishment and something to be so proud of. BTW, I just signed up for your June class in L.A. Looking forward to meeting you in person and learning some fun things about canning.
congratulations!
Congrats! looking forward to picking it up!
How exciting for YOU! I’ve also pre ordered and they’ve notified me it’s on the way. HURRAY. Great Job! Gotta get my canning supplies in order for sure now! LOL
Our peach trees are loaded and the cherries look to be having a good season as well. Hope the weather holds. We’ll give the book a real workout.
Just ordered my copy!!! Can’t wait!
Mine is on it’s way (I Pre-ordered it from Amazon ages ago), and I am so excited I am giddy! I am so happy for you and am crossing my fingers that it’s a smashing success.
I might give everyone I know a copy for Christmas. Or sooner if I cannot wait…..

YAY – there’s a nook version too! Have you seen what it will look like on a nook? I don’t have the nook color so I might have to read it using the nook software on a laptop because of the pictures. I may have to get that for me and a regular book for my daughter!
Congratulations! I can only imagine how amazing it is to see your book! And, having just finished two masters theses, I know how nervous I am to have people actually read them! Yikes.
I can’t wait to read yours, though. I am convinced it will be lovely!

Congratulations on all of your hard work and is there any chance you could bring your road show to Cincinnati? I could fix you up with some organic produce and some willing canning students. I’m eager to see your book!
Congratulations! I can not wait to get a copy.
