Print Edition Timing Hiccup

I sent a revised cover to Ingram’s LSI, adding the IPPY Gold Medal badge. Upon sending it, I was asked to remove the alignment marks—something they hadn’t asked me to do before. I paused, because I was uncertain that the alignment would be right, especially since the cover image wraps around the spine to the back. What I didn’t know was that they stopped production of the book the very instant I started to make a revision. I uploaded the replacement cover today, but for more than a week, maybe 2 they’ve not filled orders—the supply dried up.  I saw a copy of my book (used) for sale for almost 75 dollars on Amazon, but couldn’t understand why my book, list priced at 10.99 US was for sale for so much—now I know.

 

Never upload anything unless you’re prepared to have production stop for a while and don’t pause.  It’s not LSI’s fault, just a misunderstanding on my part—I like to approve proofs before we move on to the next stage.
