Lo and behold…last Friday it arrived by messager. Safely wrapped up and sealed. The first copy of Lifting the Curtain on Design! I took it into the conference room where everyone in the office sat and we all looked through it – page by page. I took it on the weekend (in a padded envelope so it wouldn’t get damaged) and spent the whole weekend going through it – page by page.
I think it brings the other two books to the next level. It is full of information, features some of my travels and really, as a friend who saw the book said, is a very informative book. One that shares my experience and point of view with the reader.
The official launch is only in October. But if you want autographed copies, place your order through VW Home. We’re embarking on a book tour from October 20th after the launch on the 19th – I’ll be sure to share the schedule of the tour with you here as soon as it’s confirmed.
I’m so excited!

Vicente – I’m sure that we are all as excited as you are. And three IS a perfect number for a collection! I spoke to Trudi who said we should call VW Home on or after 12 Oct to order an autographed copy. If you’re book tour is national and includes St Louis, please advise and I will spread the word to the local architects, designers and real estate folks that I know. – Gary

Women carry a baby for nine months. I carried this book for almost two years and it was certainly worth waiting for!
