Warren Paul, we loved learning your story, but I think our audience is going to appreciate learning about the product side of your story as well. So, maybe you can help bring everyone up to speed?
Originally published in 2011 and reprinted in 2018, Texas As I See It is the perfect gift for that hard-to-shop-for person.
Texas As I See It is a celebration of the minutiae that makes the Lone Star State unique. The nuances. The remarkable finds and oddities that pepper this vast section of the American Southwest we call Texas.
Endorsed by Miss Ebby Halliday, Sheriff Terry Box and others, we have a long list of testimonials from happy owners of this vibrant coffee table book.
Signed by the author and personalized by you, it will be a cherished gift forever.
What’s been the most exciting part of the journey of taking this product from idea to real life?
Printing a project this large (205 images over 160+ pages is a labor of love. And a leap of faith. We had received excellent responses to the demo book, but until you have pallets of them in a warehouse, and start selling them for real, you don’t really know if this is a good idea., We were rewarded with brisk sales and rave reviews from the onset. To date we have sold just over 4,000 copies of this book.
How do most people hear about your product?
We sell directly through our website, social media, at art shows / events and through roughly 20 retail stores across Texas.
Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers about your product or brand?
After we took delivery of the first 3,000 books – my Publisher told me most people who produce a coffee table book sell TEN copies. And most of those to their mother. If I had known this in the beginning, I probably would not have undertaken this project. It was four years in the making and involved a lot a rapid deceleration in a cloud of dust and gravel to go get “that shot” I had just seen out of the corner of my eye. Every photo tells a story.
