My new book - no author's name on the title page!

Can you believe it? I went to sign the first copies yesterday and there's a big blank spot on the title page. Title above, publisher name and logo below. But where's MY name?

I wrote to my editor to ask it this was intentional. She said it was definitely not intentional, and everyone's face was red who reviewed the proofs, but she hadn't told me about it because she didn't want to spoil the excitement and take the shine off seeing the book for the first time.

We're all hoping this is the only mistake (not likely in a project this size), and that the first printing sells out really fast.

My name is on the dust cover. On the actual hardcover it's just my last name at the bottom of the spine. But I do hold the copyright, so it's on the verso, and it's at the end of the foreword.

I should be upset about this, but frankly, it's still a beautiful book, and I'm not upset. And what a great story to tell in the future, eh?

Yes! Didn't they do a nice job?

I think I need this book. I love to knit. I need a Christmas present for myself, right?

Absolutely! And, of course, you need to give one to all the other knitters you know.
