While I
wait to see the first copy of All These
Long Years Later, I will continue hoping to lay balm on any frayed nerves
re publishing a piece of your work.
As you
will realize, I’ve deleted some bits and pieces eg. The attached file mentioned in the last paragraph. When
you get that far, you will receive your own file containing your own
details. Yeah! It’s an adventure.
FROM BRAD:
Here is
the second draft of the text.
WHAT
WAS DONE?
1. ISBN assigned. It is on the
copyright page.
2. Robyn’s corrections were applied,
with notes and exceptions listed below.
3. Other corrections were made (a
full spell-check), mostly spaces, some dashes and US-to-British spelling changes. See
notes below.
4. The new Mill Gaudy 12 pt font was
applied.
NOTE: This changes all the page numbers!
WHAT’S
NEXT?
1. Robyn to answer questions in the
notes below, and verify that all other changes as requested were made
correctly. Send any further updates to Brad.
2. Brad to apply design changes to
the first page of each chapter.
3. Brad to finalize the table of
contents.
4. Brad to do final check of text for
widows/orphans and other typographical problems. This can only be done once the
text is absolutely finalized.
5. Brad to design cover and send
first draft to Robyn.
ALSO:
The CIP
application has been submitted.
The details are in the attached text file. I have
requested the catalog record for January 31 since Ottawa requires 10 business days to generate
one. We can always go to print without it, but I think it makes the book more
finished if the catalog record is printed right on the copyright page.
