I'm not sure what's been mentioned in this thread, so...

Many weeks ago the Proof Book was completed, compiled, and uploaded to Blurb. We got it back about 3 weeks ago and we proofed it. We find several typos which were fixed, but more importantly, the pages were over-trimmed. We had allowed 1/8-inch space as instructed but the trimming took 3/16-inch off the bottom resulting in the bottom line of text being cut in half.

This took some time to correct, as each page needed another 1/8-inch of space, which meant resizing every page. Combined with July 4 holidays and my family demanding some time, it took a while to complete the process. This was finished (along with the typos) on Monday night. The new version of the proof book was uploaded, and we are now waiting for it to arrive so we can check it out. If everything's OK on this copy then book should be publicly available about 2 weeks from today, give or take.


You can take my 100-400 L away when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers.

Thanks Mo,

One last minor hiccup to solve I'm afraid.... something a bit out of left field but we will get there.

Congrats everyone, blurb is running very slow at the moment (probably my crappy connection), I presume it's credit card only (no paypal) so I'll have to wait until I both have money to afford it (being unemployed now I'm impoverished) - probably a month to six weeks at least, and until the POTN shop has it (which I believe will take paypal). Can't wait to get my hands on several of these babies :)

Just ordered mine. Pity about the international shipping price!

Thanks for all your hard work, book makers.
