Fact - FAQ's:

2. Who is Blurb? Is he cute?
Currently, all Hearty Chowder books are being printed through a U.S. based company named Blurb. Blurb is just an answered prayer from up above. ;) Blurb inspires people like me (who is a complete novice to making books) through their book-making and publishing "tools" and bookstore-quality printing and binding. In short, it has been a vessel for my dream coffee-table book to coming true! He is that cute! 

3. Can I also make my own book through Blurb?
Absolutely! I just met Blurb after researching for the best available tool out there! One of my goals in writing my own book is to inspire people who desire to have their own creative artistry being published too! It would be my delight and pleasure to bring encouragement to you as well! Visit blurb and be inspired: http://www.blurb.com/ 
NOTE: I don't get any commission on referrals, but it would be nice if I could. Calling blurb! Kidding! Your joy is simply my joy.

4. Why Blurb and not just your own local printer? 
Unfortunately nor fortunately, as I am still new in the business the best option for my self-published book is through POD. Meaning I get copies Printed On Demand basis only. We can't afford to have those "extras" for now. But my lines are open if there would be any good POD offer locally - I say, why not. 

5. Do you handle returns? 
Since Blurb already guarantees satisfaction with the workmanship of their books and I get to double check all the books before releasing it, no returns should be accepted. It is advisable to thoroughly check your book upon delivery or when receiving it. Strictly no return, no exchange. 

6. How do I take care of the book and make it last a lifetime?
As all things have a "shelf life" (even us human beings), simply taking good care of the book will make its quality last a lifetime (hopefully). Please make sure not to drop even a dot of water on it especially that it doesn't have any "wetness indicator" included. ;) It is important to place the book somewhere "safe" like your coffee-table perhaps? Covering it with a plastic suitable for books can also be an option. 

7. So what will it cost me to have a copy of this special book?
The Special Introductory Value is Php 3,350.oo only. Reservation or initial fee of Php 1,000 is required while the balance is to be paid upon delivery. The book's heart is to inspire and uplift your senses and spirit - the cost is simply, priceless.
