Pagoda World Book III UPDATE
« on: November 21, 2024, 18:28:07 »
The book is in the hands of the printer, and has entered pre-production. I expect to have the book printed in mid-December, and bulk delivery to me here in NC between Christmas and New Years. Fulfillment (shipping out the books to our members who ordered them) will happen early in the new year.

The small quantity going to Canadian addresses will be shipped directly to our member George Henne in Toronto, and dispatched directly from Toronto.

Update December 4, 2024

Our graphic designer is working through a number of minute design tasks that arose when our book was put through the pre-flight software at the printer.

Preflight is a step done prior to printing, where the digital file is processed to look for potential print challenges, and these are flagged for review. Upon review, we determined that some of these issues could be corrected, and she's working on those now. Of course, our holiday of Thanksgiving slowed things down, and our CSR at the printer was away, too.

I expect to have the completed files by the end of the week, and the should be ready for another go at preflight. Issues that are discovered at that time will probably be passed as OK to print, since they are probably issues "as printed" in the original magazines that we cannot correct.

I'll post another update as soon as the file(s) are all approved and in the print process.

Can't wait to see the finished product
