Good news. The test sample of my book finally arrived this weekend. I had to delve deep into the industrial area of Gothenburg looking for some well hidden Fedex facility, but one hour later had in my possession a nondescript cardboard package full of air bubble wrapping.  Needless to say I was feeling like a child opening a long awaited present.

My overall impression is that it is solid product with high quality finishing. And all the issues I found except one can be quickly ironed before the final print run. Anyway, that is the purpose of the test copy, to spot and fix those issues before going forward.

And now? A few extra hours of work and I will send for the final print run. The books won’t be available before Christmas as first intended, true, but that is the price to pay for getting things to high standards and feeling good about them.
