Our printer has gone on holiday and will be back in January. So we are having an enforced holiday season. I guess all the computer crashes and proofing cought up with us. No worries as we will still have the map by the end of January.
We heard from Daphne del camino. She is coming back to vancouver for a while so we will be able to catch up which is great news. She has been working as a hospitalrio up and down the route. Lucky thing.
I have been thinking about the walk from Cadiz to Seville on a sort of pre-via de la plata few days. I think it maybe is a week to 10 days and is marked. Have no clue about accommodation. It may be all the christmas pudding that is making me dream of Spain.
Waiting now for the final proof to come. Hope it comes this week. The holidays will mess up things in terms of delivery so it is starting to look like it will not arrive until the new year. On the good side it will mean that bookshops will get xmas out of the way and then we can start hassling them to buy it.
It feels great to not have to spend every night working on the map. Although now the holiday season is here we seem to spend every night at some social event which after a few nights is even harder!!
proofs came back from the printer yesterday. They look great if I do say so myself. I had a look for mistakes but I hate to look to closely incase I find one. I know that is the whole point of having blueline proofs but I am still scared of finding mistakes.
Anyway we couriered them back and I guess next week they will start the print run and we will get some finished books to check just before xmas with luck.
The canadian dollar keeps falling against the US. So our usa cover price is already out of whack. Maybe we need a north american single currency!
Have been rebuilding our files from our computer crash while we wait for the book. I guess we should also do some marketing but we would rather wait to have the finished article then do our push. Which retailer wants to find out about new product in the middle of the xmas rush?
