While writing my first novel, I held onto a line from the movie, Field of Dreams: "If you build it, they will come."
As in, "If you write it, they will publish it."

Build it. They will come π

An open book lying on a work surface. There is a full page illustration on the left (and this is a 14 inch or 35 centimeter tall book) and a meticulously written page of text on the right. The book is a facsimile, printed in 2001, of the 1493 German language edition of a history of the world.
It's a complete facsimile of a hand-tinted 1493 Nuremberg Weltchronik, and I think... you might have to arm wrestle me for it.

I was convinced this would never happen.
I treasure this nomination.
