Finished copyfitting Phantastes today, and started drafting the cover:
After a final proofread through, I'll finish the cover and send off for my proof copy. At this rate (two weeks a book) I could plow through 25 or so books a year. But that's ...
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 ...
Work on Phantastes is coming along well. I've decided to go with an 11/13pt font instead of 12/14, since it drops the page count and it helps it feel more like a grown-up book. :) So far I've formatted all the quotes at the beginning of each chapter ...
Today I started on the first Riverglen Classics edition: George MacDonald's Phantastes. I've only been working on it for 45 minutes, but already I have most of it done. This is great. :) So, expect Phantastes to go up for purchase sometime this coming week. I'm ...
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 ...
Added the wallet-size PDF of the English Plan of Salvation to Riverglen Press. Also added the PDFs of the bookmarks (Plan of Salvation and Project Cumorah). And added a bunch of stuff to the language page (Hebrew alephbet card, An Icelandic Primer, the 1000 Word ...
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 ...
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 ...
