The new book is here!
I got a surp[rise package from the publisher today--two hardcover copies of The Greatest War Stories Never Told, hot off the presses! I am very happy with the photo reproduction--the prictures look crisper and stronger than they did in the first book. I don't know if that was something the desinger did, or something the printer did, but the pictures look sharp. I also liked the flaps, and the reproduction of my picture (yes, I have an actual author picture in this bok, so I can prove it was by me!)
I'm less happy with the back cover, which doesn't look very elegant. I saw a faxed proof of it, and Okayed it, even though I couldn't really see it. Now I'm sorry I did. It isn't awful, just kind of clunky. I talked to Joelle Yudin, the associate editor on the book, and she said that she and Mauro DIpreta (who is the Executive Editor/Big Cahuna) were liess than thrilled with it too. But the print run is already done for the first 18 thousand copies, so I guess were' going to have to learn to like it!
