My book (*) seems to be shaping up nicely. I've had the cover printed today, and had a four-page sheet printed again because I'd had to correct a spelling mistake. D'oh. Six copies ready. All I have to do now is sew, sew, sew and glue, glue, glue.
(Had to blur out my surname, you know how it is, internet weirdos and all that.)
(*) "My book" is actually a book I'm making from scratch for an exam (I'm doing a post-degree course in publishing). I wrote it myself (it's a history of women's fashion, 1930-1970). Did everything in Adobe InDesign, printed to PDF, and took it to a typographer just down the road. The sewing and binding must be done by hand, and we must do it ourselves. May the gods have mercy on me.
