Malaysia Book Update 14: It Arrived!

Finally, the day has arrived...! Seriously, it was a mixed feeling. At one hand, I was excited to see how the book turned out, and on the other hand, I was rather anxious as there is the next step once the books arrive.

But, the day has been planned, and it is the arrival of the books!

The expected time of arrival - in the evening. So at around 6pm, I got a call that the driver of the printers are here in Malacca. The books have made its way to this UNESCO listed heritage city.

As the driver wasn't too familiar with the roads, I met them at a landmark place so that I could guide them.


Me guiding the lorry

The driver & his assistant seems to be enjoying the ride in historical Malacca, going at a leisurely pace. Well, I guess being in outstation, one can't help but just admire the town.


The lorry still in good view

It was a relatively short journey. And their speed made me relaxed a lil.


Finally, we arrived to our destination

Bit by bit, the workers unloaded the books. Again, in a relatively cool leisurely manner. I didn't mind - more time to cool down.


The lorry near empty


This is how 1 carton looks like, which is about 13kg

Of course, I was more concerned with what's inside!


The sight of blue & yellow.

It was like opening a gift/ present. Some of you may have felt like this as well before. It was a mixed bag of feelings throughout especially here - I just wanted the books to turn out fine.


50+1 Malaysia - the book

And yes, it didn't disappoint. The book looks good from the outside and even the inside. It did have the nice feel to it - paper-wise & colour as well.

I feel relieved. And happy. Finally, the 50+1 Malaysia book has arrived.

*Today is its official release - available online first at The Malaysia Page. It will be in bookstores within the next few days.

In the meantime, there is a Special Offer if purchased online.

And for bloggers, there is also a chance to win a copy of the book! :)
