I got the text proofs back from our printer today, and I am very pleased. Their print is fantastic (I'm used to printing it on my office printer and what they did is so much better).

I'm almost 100 pages into it and there are no blemishes or printing errors so far (I didn't really expect any). On Monday we'll give them the OK (or give them the OK with a change or error or two to correct) and by the end of next week or so they should have printed the text. Then comes binding.

They'll get us the cover proof next week.

Without the cover our book is slightly thicker than is the Joshua Tree West guidebook with it's cover (God what have we done!).

It's about the "weight" of the book, not the size.

I gave the go-ahead this morning to the text. Now they'll print, cut, fold, collate, and sew the book itself over the next two or so weeks.

Meanwhile Steve's got the cover proof and is making some adjustments with the print company.

Not that anyone is doing anything this morning other than watching the events in Boston.

Nice! and I'm not watching - I spend all my time on climbing forums.

I just talked with our printer:

1. The covers are all printed and laminated;

2. The text is almost done printing; folding and sewing should start on Monday at the latest;

3. The books then have to be covered, and then boxed.

All in all, it looks like about two tons of books should be shipping from Winnipeg, Canada to California on about May 17th. Shipping will take 4 or 5 days.

Congrats again

Glad someone posted something - I was starting to think the zombie apocalypse was here!

We'll have to come visit after Memorial Day and get a copy - then head out to the crags

I'll be like a kid in a candy store!

I'm with Squiddo, only US bound books please. You need to support American jobs.

Canada: the 51st state.

Same printing company as we used to print the Pinns guide, and same one Marty Lewis uses for his eastern Sierra guides. We did decide that there was no way we'd go overseas for printing, but the Utah based printing company that we looked at lost their sewing sub-contractor and they were going to have to outsource the sewing to New Mexico. We decided to keep it where it could all be done in one place.

Canadian's are good folk, eh.

Just as long as they don't print French on the odd pages.....

Got an email today from our printer. The guidebook's text is now printed, folded and collated. They started sewing today (the book's spine is sewn before the cover is put on).

I think we are on track.

I spoke again with the printer this morning. The books are nearing completion and are still on schedule to ship this Friday, May 17th.

Naturally the printer will be Fedexing a copy to me and one to Steve the minute they're done. I'm actually looking forward to seeing it.

Why the surprise? :-P

Congrats once again and I can't wait to get my hands on a copy. Now for the million dollar question, what are you going to do with the spare time:-)

Probably just work more to pay for the first round of college.
