Red-letter day

By | November 19, 2010

This morning, FedEx dropped off a long-awaited package: print proofs for Charts Made Simple. The color cover was separate from the interior, and the interior had been printed on lighter-weight paper than will be used for the actual book. But the proofs were bound. It’s starting to look like a real book.

it looks like a book!

So I spent a good chunk of the day poring over the proofs, pinpointing areas that need improvement. Fortunately, there aren’t too many. Photos need to be lightened a bit, despite looking fine on my monitor and when printed on my cheap desktop printer. (No surprise there, really.) And a few illustrations need to be tweaked. But overall, it’s almost good to go.

not too much red ink
