Project Update: I have two actual books and I will show them to you
The good news is that there is not new bad news! Ah wait, I am being too superstitious so I'll try again:
I have actual bound copies of SYMA and VAPR and they are good.
Here is an "unboxing" video. Watch me open a box with a knife. Listen to me sputter, grunt, and make random exclamation-type sounds:
For those eager to see me get as emotional as I think I've ever been, skip to 5m15s. (Later: Oh look, the default preview image on the video is the thing that made me sad.)
I'll do a post mortem on the delivered books...later. December. There are tiny alignment issues with some stuff on the cover which feel odd, like they are off in a way that makes me suspect my original files because I can't imagine how only one corner is messed up.
The very first TYOV printing had a cover alignment issue that took me way too long to diagnose because it was so unreasonable: The printer had very slightly distorted the gold foil matte so it was only off in one dimension. The printer owned the problem and were perfect the whole rest of the time I worked with them.
I'm very happy with Standart Impressa's work. I'll be ordering a new run of TYOV from them soon.
I'll have some "Good for you, bad for me" news to share next week. I'll give you a hint: "I spent a comically large bag of money to express a bunch of books to the warehouses so I, hopefully, can fulfill everything before Christmas." No way you'll guess my self-sabotaging, bad-business secret with just that confounding hint.
