I was taking a course on book publishing and my professor had a connection to Workman. His brother was Dr. Eiger, the guy who co-wrote The Complete Book of Breastfeeding. Everyone I met there was so nice and it's a tiny, tiny place, even with the success they've had with Heidi's books and others, they are pretty small in the publishing world. I know it's tough now for publishers so I can't say I'm surprised that they'd option the right to the book, although it's annoying.Elitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01294923997458681675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741036541041672560.post-50524862191424725352010-01-26T23:18:16.525-05:002010-01-26T23:18:16.525-05:00This is an awful book.

Yet when informative documentaries are made about birth like "The Business of Being Born," they are given "controversial" reviews and are portrayed as back-woods birthing. No wonder I hardly see any movies anymore!A Mama's Blog (Heather)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16323531043861659368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741036541041672560.post-20012669298231561472010-01-20T15:52:54.604-05:002010-01-20T15:52:54.604-05:00Ugh, are you kidding me?!?!

The older two look like they've just realized what a grim, perilous journey they're about to embark on, fraught with strangling umbilical cords, episiotomies and enormous 8 lb. babies that shatter their teeny tiny pelvises.Jillhttp://keyboardrevolutionary.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741036541041672560.post-41407981555959802832010-01-18T16:56:43.081-05:002010-01-18T16:56:43.081-05:00I know you're right.

Don't you understand, Anne, that if you start marketing yourself as an epidural pushing, cesarean selling, anti-doula-doula, you will have publishers beating down your door!TheFeministBreederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870473200937110378noreply@blogger.com
