Coffee Table Book

I found a site on line that will turn your blog into a book.  Since I am starting my 19th year of blogging, I realize that I would not be able to turn the entire thing into a book.  But I thought 10 days would be nice. 

Can you guess which 10 days I chose?  Ecuador!

I picked the largest book, 12 inches by 12 inches.  

And it automatically designed the book.  

I selected the cover photo and wrote a little preface, but that was about all.  It was suppose to arrive for Christmas but alas, it was late.   But it is now on my coffee table for viewing if anyone drops by.  

Then today I got another surprise, a tariff bill.  This surprise was not as welcome as the book.  But from my research it looks like I will have to pay it.  No where on the site did it mention this extra fee.  I did find this in the terms of use

When you order Books for overseas delivery, shipments may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied when the package with the Books or products arrives at the destination that you specified. Any charges for customs clearance shall be borne by you, as Into Real Pages has no control over such charges and cannot foresee the amount charged (if any). You agree that you are the importer of record for goods and services you order and you shall comply with all laws and regulations of the destination country.
 

I also didn't know it was coming from the Netherlands by way of Canada.  Live and learn.  But I still like my book.
