1. Some months ago I entered a photography book, Where the Spirit Left, in a contest sponsored by blurb.com and Photography.Book.Now.
2. On Wednesday, I got an email that the book had been named as an honorable mention.
3. Yesterday, I got an email that included things like "egg on our face" and "database error" and "isn't cool" and the news that my book wasn't, in fact, any kind of a winner.
4. What a bunch of idiots, specifically Mike Barash (mbarash@blurb.com).

melinda-i had the same experience. i came across your blog when searching to see who else had this happen. the mistake was bad enough but the glib explanation was beyond awful.
Susie B - The whole thing is questionable, to say the least. I have the idea that my book was in the "these books COMPLETELY SUCK" database or something... Anyway, thanks for your comment and I guess it's good to know that at least I wasn't the only one getting screwed around!
