Shipping an iPad Children's Book: Soup to Nuts

Is there a corresponding writeup somewhere? I love hearing about the difficult decisions, and this has some teasers that sound like they'd be interesting stories - especially "fired illustrator over contract dispute", "developers 'need' to start over", and "made appearance in costume".

http://www.findhg.com/ Looks like it hasn't launched yet, although the video said early 2011.

Somehow I feel sad, like all the work suddenly stopped and there was no product launch and all that hard work I've observed was lost in the wind.

Or maybe I'm just projecting my own pre-launch jitters for my own app.

Oh, typo.

Hi there! My name is Jessica, and I'm one of the creators of the Hansel and Gretel app. We are thrilled you guys have taken an interest in our app and my personal portfolio site- it means the world to us. We are experiencing issues with our developers but we're working as hard as we can to get back on track. I would love to keep a conversation going with you though. Feel free to shoot me an email at jess@pbjpublishing.com, and I'll let you know when we finally hit the app store!

Great timeline design, especially after you recognize how the color captions match the line colors. I would have preferred that the captions were consistently stacked in the same order as their lines though, give you both a color and a positional cue.

it looks nice - went to buy it but i don't see it in the app store... has it launched? I found quite a few hansel and gretel books so you have some competition.

looks great, must be a lot of work.

Definitely want to get your money back on your SEO http://www.google.com/search?q=pb+and+j+publishing&ie=ut... top hit: http://www.pbjpress.com/

Ah! Finally a truly justified use of a horizontally-scrolled website! I thought I would never see one...
