I'm Gridding from Ear to Ear

You are so sharp! Pretty cool to see this listing—and who knew Griddies (or would that be Griddites) are so quick about listing resources. This is a good time to flog, blog, and promote. I have yet to do a mass blast of the e-cards Anel Henning designed for Layout Essentials; here's a preview of e-card one of three.

While I'm at it, here's part of an e-mail from Scott Citron, Director at Large, Type Directors Club, Adobe Community Expert, Adobe Certified Instructor, ID | IC | PS | AI CS3:

I just received a copy of your new book, and wanted you to know how much I'm enjoying it! Not only is it beautifully designed, but the information and analysis is excellent.

Scott also noted that Rockport Publishers really knows how to produce a beautiful book. It's true. Props to Rockport, editor Emily Potts, and art director David Martinell.

But enough about Layout Essentials. For now. More promotional hoo-hah to come (with the amused admission that the irony of writing a post about grids after a squib about the victoriously-untrammeled James does not escape your humble author).
