Exits + Obstacles is done, albeit in pieces on my drawing table. I’ve got the assembly down to a science and can get 5 CDs put together in 15 minutes. I’m going to try to do 100 per week.
Here’s what went wrong:
- The covers were printed with the grain running the wrong way. Book Arts Lesson #1: Paper is not 2-dimensional. Paper has grain and only folds nicely one way. But it’s not worth reprinting them. I knew which way the grain went, and told my printing team once, but forgot to remind them once all the other problems were solved. Pretty common oversight. lesson learned.
- A word got cut off the first page of the booklet. It really upset me at first because I was so excited about being done when I noticed it. I was going to recycle the whole stack and and go to the printers to get it re-done, but instead I added the hand-made touch and wrote it in!
- Small typo involving my visual map theme. You’ll win something weird if you discover it.
Pretty good. Everything else worked out OK. Buy it October 1st.
