Proof

It's all done now. The typesetted manuscript is going to go to Proof.

Once that's done, I believe we'll be doing galleys. That's when, I believe, I will have to go over it once again to catch any last minute errors, printing issues, etc. before it goes to the printer. Once it goes to the printer, that's it. Any glaring mistakes will go to the reading public.

I'm looking forward to the galley. It'd be quite something to actually hold the book in print form.

Oh Goodie

Thank goodness. I'm finally done with the pre-production phase. Time to jump up and down with joy (where is the crazying bouncing emoticon when I need it?). Well, it would now go to the printer and I'll probably receive a bound galley sometime in the near future.

I can't wait.
