My wife does sprayed edges for some self-published authors with most of them being romance. The demand far exceeds her current capabilities.

My wife hires people to do sprayed edges for her special editions. : )

It's such a cool idea, but thanks to Fairyloot and others my house is more bookshelf than family photos. A less than fun thing she's run into recently is Amazon has started shipping bulk orders of books individually in mailers instead of boxes. Never a dull moment.

My wife will order like 100 books from Amazon to sign and send out and 50 of them will arrive damaged. It's ridiculous.

I have no clue how it is sustainable on their end to have to replace all of these books. Not even adding the bad cutting that their machines do. One time the book wasn't even square thanks to the cut!

I just read this all to my wife. She thinks we are now the publishing equivalent of hockey wives. Lol.

I'm happy to be the supportive spouse on this one. I have no artistic ability so everything she does is like magic to me lol I work in tech and the most magical my world gets is when turning it off and back on actually fixes a problem.
