The book has launched!
Posted by admin in BLOG by Rachel on 11 1st, 2009It is the most amazing feeling. I spent about half an hour stroking the first copy, before I realised I was getting strange looks from the barista. To those of you who made it along to Auckland City Library on Thursday night, thank you very much for your support, and a special thank you to Prue Kane, Matt Kennedy Good and Lachlan Forsyth for your last minute readings… the audience loved them! Sales are already going strong – we sold over 1,200 in our first day – and with your help, this pace can continue.
The book is simply beautiful and will make a great Christmas present, and remember that proceeds from book sales go to the Espoir Trust, a charity that actively encourages youth to pursue their ambitions, travel the world, and provide a positive contribution to our society.
Above all, we hope the book encourages people to follow their dreams; because, whether you think you can or not, you’re probably right.

Posted by rachel in BLOG by Rachel on 10 29th, 2009So the countdown is on… with less than 5 hours until the launch, temperatures are rising, pulses are racing, and almost all the Jandals team are taking a pre-launch nap. It’s a weird feeling, when you’ve wanted something so much for so long and finally it is just around the corner…. it’s almost anti-climactic, and yet it’s not, because I’ve been pacing round the room like a caged animal, and I never pace.
The books have arrived – they look amazing – and I’ve yet to find a spelling mistake. Yes Keith, even your name is spelt correctly now.
Right, must go have a manicure and pre-launch glass of bubbles to calm myself down. We will update you tomorrow post launch!
