Once I have subitted the final files to the printer, it would be 6 weeks away before it is in book format. I am waiting for the ISBN bar code to integrate into the book and dust cover now, then, off one final print out which I will re-read and then off to the printer. |

Woohoo! Given what has to be years of pent-up demand, I'm sure the first printing will sell out soon. How much of a premium for a signed copy? |

Hard cover color printing isn't cheap, so I'm only printing 500 for now, maybe they'll all be signed. I hope it meets expectations! (Message edited by admin on July 07, 2008) |

OK, I sent in the data to the printer today...if it goes smoothly, I should have the first copies in 7-8 weeks. |

Great news, Zaf! I can tell you I know a group of people that are really looking forward to reading it. Do you plan to do a dedication session next time you come to France?-) |

Price not set yet, I'm waiting to see the quality of the print first...it'll probably retail for something fairly high for online sales on sites like amazon, etc since they take such a big cut but and I will discount it if you buy direct from the site. |

Printer has just sent me the proofs back, I will have it on Monday 8/4. This is getting to be exciting. Bruce Shawkey has also kindly accepted to review the book for the NAWCC bulletin (the USA horological society bi-monthly publication). So far his impressions are favorable. |

Arg! Proofs are in, some the graphics, especially the gray ones came in very light. So I'm working on that now. |

I might do that mid septemeber when we're ~1 month away. Still not sure how to ship it overseas. I wonder if there is a media rate. |
