The Proof Copy Arrives!

Unbelievably, my first author proof copy of Volume One: Subject Lines was delivered by UPS this morning. I was notified just two days ago, in late afternoon no less, that the proof would be printed and shipped.

BookSurge pwns.

I’m thoroughly impressed with the quality of the printing - it’s absolutely flawless. Due to a mix-up on my end, the barcode was not added to the back cover. I thought they would do it automatically, but I was supposed to let them know that the barcode placement was to be done by them (rather than me creating it and inserting it into the back cover myself). I called Nicole, one of my BookSurge managers, and cleared it up very easily. We decided that as long as they’re going to run off another proof (with the barcode in place), I might take the opportunity to tweak a few things. I decided to tighten up the text on the back cover slightly, just to move it off the edges a bit more. I also adjusted the brightness/contrast on a few of the interior images that I hadn’t realized would print a little on the dark side.

The new files were just uploaded, and if BookSurge keeps impressing me as much as they have been, I should have a new proof copy early next week. I fully expect that I’ll approve that copy, given the nature of the changes I made this morning.

• Due to circumstances beyond my control... okay, the program I wrote isn't working. It's completely within my control. The awesome Big Book of Spam gear isn't available right now, but I'm working on a fix and hope to have it ready very soon. I apologize for the delay!
