Great news and congratulations!!! I was on Amazon's site the other nite and they had the release date as October 25th which seemed so close, almost a tease yet I was expecting a longer delay as per previous posts. This is great news.
Wow! Excellent!
As a person in the printing industry, that proof looked mighty familiar. I put samples like that together for customers daily.
The multi-colored stripes at the bottom of the pages are color bars that the press will use to get the color correct and uniform across the page.
The signature stacking you mentioned is exactly correct for a perfect-bound book(whether soft or hardcover). Books that are saddle-stitched (like comics! Yay!) have their signatures placed each inside the other.
At least that's the way we do it.
Great pix and great that you savored it. You'll remember that moment forever.
Congratulations.
When I am grown to man's estate,
I shall be very proud and great.
And tell the other girls and boys,
not to meddle with my toys.
-Robert Louis Stevenson
Congrats, Benjamin! I can't imagine the thrill you must have had while holding the book for the first time. I hope you really savoured it after all the work you did.
And it's awesome to see that it's that much closer to finally coming out. I can't wait to get the shipping notice!
