I'm thinking about making Riverglen Press a PDF-only gig. Lulu's good, to be sure, but I like having more control over the output -- with Lulu my choices are quite limited, and it's hard to get the desired result. (Mainly with the covers; the body has generally been ...

Turns out that the Project Gutenberg text of Phantastes has a lot of typos, at least when comparing against my 1916 edition, so I have to proof it even more than usual. Oh well. :) It's a wee bit time-consuming, so the book won't be done as soon ...

I've finished all the menial, rote formatting on Phantastes, which leaves just proofreading and copyfitting. We're looking at around 200 pages. (I've decided to start chapters on a new page, rather than just flowing after the previous one, because of the quotes that come at the beginning of ...

I got the proof copy of Project Cumorah yesterday at 5:15. It's beautiful! Thick and hefty, to be sure, but it's lovely. And you can now download the PDF or order the hard copy through Lulu by going to Riverglen Press. Here's what the page ...

I got rather tired of the old Riverglen Press look, so here's the new one: Very green. :) Anyway, I'm still not entirely satisfied with the layout, but it'll work for now. Within the next day or two I'll ...

Lulu has shipped the proof copy of Project Cumorah. Two or three days, here's hoping. :) In the meantime, there'll probably be a slight decrease in my artistic/design output for the next week or two while I hammer away at Beyond and IAP. [tags]Book of Mormon, Lulu, Beyond, genealogy, ...

Having finished my first major project for Riverglen Press, here's what I see coming in the future: Riverglen Classics. There's a wealth of good books freely available on Project Gutenberg, and so I'll begin typesetting those that strike my fancy (George MacDonald's Phantastes, for example, and the Anne of Green ...

It is finished. I made my changes, proofed it one last time, and uploaded Project Cumorah to Lulu. It mostly went well, though I do have one concern: the bleed on the cover. The documentation says it's .375", but the little preview image (I'm using the one-piece cover, by ...

Project Cumorah is 99% done. :) I spent eleven hours working on it today and finished basically everything. Tomorrow morning I'll give it a final proofcheck and send it off to Lulu, and then it's just a wait of five or six days till it comes. Here's what the ...

I'm about halfway through with reparagraphing the text of the Book of Mormon. All that's left is Mosiah, Alma, Helaman, 3 Nephi, and 4 Nephi. And when I'm this close to finishing it, I can't help but press onward relentlessly. If I don't have it done by ...
