@MossRC I was wondering why there were two bookmarks, then I realized it was a pair of shoelaces- fantastic! And the book looks gorgeous.

Clearly a labor of love, which is par for the course for you. Football games are not my jam but I hope this does well for you.

@matt_diamond Thank you! The shoelaces were the publisher's idea — it's been a labour of love for them, too.

Between us we've put so many fun Easter eggs and loving touches in there, so I hope it finds a big audience but even if it doesn't I'll at least be able to say I had a blast making it.
