Changed the font in the BoM reader’s edition from Adobe Garamond Pro to Garamond Premier Pro. They’re quite similar, but I like the latter more. (It reminds me a lot of that Penguin Classics font in my editions of War and Peace and Jane Eyre.)
Hmm, I think I need a short project name I can use to refer to this, since “the reader’s edition of the Book of Mormon” is long and unwieldy. Project Cumorah. That works. :)
So, this morning I did some quick copyfitting on Project Cumorah (still on 1 Nephi), which brings me up to the third draft. And I think I’m satisfied, so I can now start typesetting the rest of the book.
I also went over to the copy shop and got 1 Nephi printed out double-sided, then spiral-bound, so I could see what it looks like in a semi-book form. And it looks great! It won’t take long to do the rest — the only parts that take time are reparagraphing and copyfitting, and they’re not that time-consuming. I expect to have the book done by the end of the month, certainly.

1 Nephi looks beautiful! I can’t wait to see the finished product.
