Hardcover Proof arrived!

Dust Jacket (hardcover) Proof

Super excited to receive the hardcover proof today.

But ecstatic when I took off the dust jacket and the spine was written in serif and gold type!

Here I was thinking it would be white and san-serif. (yuck!)


The only problem is that this copy has white paper. And now I have the paperback with cream I know it’s my first choice from now on.


The white looks good, don’t get me wrong. But the cream feels like a novel and not a text book.


 


So looks like I have to go back to the book jacket and make some changes to fit the cream paper, which is a bit thicker. And over 600 pages it makes a difference.


Super happy though!

Soft Cover Proof has arrived!

Ok so I may have told a few people today but here is the official blog post.


The Other Side of Eve softcover proof copy has landed!

This is the first copy I have held in my hands and it is wonderful.


Here is a silly little video I made when I got it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4H1-dfByd7s


IMG_3693.JPGimgmax1024


To be honest I didn’t think it was going to be so sexy! (I know it’s a book)


Straight up I can see the cover needs adjusting but apart from that Ingram Spark Printers have done a wonderful job.

Under 4 days to make, post and arrive at my doorstep is incredible.


The paper is crisp white, I could have gone with cream but I like the black and white theme. The hardcover I ordered has cream paper so I’ll get to see that shortly.


Printer: Ingram Spark

Size: 9×6″

Pages: 590 – the paper is thin, but not too thin and is opaque.

Weight: Heavy as its nearly 600 pages. Don’t have me scales today.

Text: Clear 12pt and the ink is not too dark or light.

Chapter Illustrations: I can’t believe the detail that is shown. They are clear and even the fines lines are shown. Unlike my home printer which blurs them.


Wrap up: Well obviously I’m happy. The cover is clear, a little to the right but I think that’s an error on my behalf. Everything else I had worries about was fine.


I know the laminated hard cover will be just amazing so once I go though this proof and fix any errors I’ll order one.
