TO DO: DESIGN MONSTER BOOK (check)
Good morning! I hope all of you here in the U.S. had a lovely Labor Day Weekend. Everybody else: You're not alone. Yesterday was a full work day for me, too.
But it was a good one. Check it out: The design of the Monster Book is complete! The last few pages took a lot longer than I thought, but they're now full of fun little goodies and surprises for you. I had to make sure that the small type lovers and graph aficionados among you will have something to look forward to, after all. And who would ever want to buy a book without lavishly illustrated end papers?
A big, honking PDF is on its way to my editor, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for nips and tucks rather than wholesale edits. When I get my marked up pages in two weeks I still have to hand-letter the pull quotes on each page, but I'll do it gladly. Why? Oh, come on now... don't play coy with me. You know why! Because 344 LOVES YOU
Woo Hoo! Congrats on the first round. Here's to limited edits.

Yay!!! I love a book w/ end papers + size 2 print (not to mention funny legal copy). ~_______^ Will there be blind debossing on this bad boy too?

No blind embossing, I'm afraid, Emily. They already had to stretch the budget for the custom end papers. But there will be a dual layer DVD chock full of stuff. How's that?

Yeah! Super excited for the final product. :] Hope everything goes well.

Haha, it's alrite, Stefan. I have no doubts that the final product will be spectacular + beyond gorgeous! Oh, I got my Monstery UCLA Extension catalog in the post today. Really likin' all the 344 nods on the cover—sort of like a "Where's Waldo" experience. Great job!
Have a lovely weekend! ^_____^
