March is very nearly over and we have been very busy at Pegana Press. Mike has finished setting and printing all the stories for The Men of Baldfolk, which is the title of our latest volume of stories written by Lord Dunsany. This morning he printed the colophon for the book. The only pages left to print are things like table of contents, copyright, title page, etc.
He also plans to start work on the illustration this week.
I have been using the time between releases to catch up with all the work that went undone during the binding frenzy caused by The Golden Key. This is tax season, and my book keeping skills always cause a frantic search for records and receipts in various files as I try to fill out forms correctly.
Fortunately, The Men of Baldfolk won’t be ready for binding until after mid April. Until then, I am spending my time in the bindery working on a dummy to see the practical application of our design for this publication. When I get one finished, I’ll post pictures on the website of what the book will look like. It will be some time yet, before I can bind an actual copy of the book, but the dummy will provide a peek into what you can expect the book to look like.
We hope to begin offering the book for presale soon.
Looking forward to this. :)
