Life has continued to be busy for the entire author team and the lovely people we are working with to make the Urban Commons Cookbook a reality. Nevertheless, we are making good progress on realizing the book. Just incrementally and with a lot of discussion, like any good commons project! 🙂

We are super happy with how she has approach our text – certainly not easy considering all the info boxes, methods and cross-references! We are also excited by the graphics she has created. Here’s a sneak peek:



We expect to be able to order the proofs around Christmas, make any necessary changes in January and start shipping the books out early February. We are *so* excited to see all our hard work in print and share it with you all – stay tuned for info about the next steps!
