A hectic day and night working until 5am chasing my favoured printers for final book publishing quotations and then accepting an arrangement for production by April 20th, in time for my public talks.
Today was hectic, as I worked on the final copy for my book. I was chasing the three favoured printers to get their quotations in and making calls back and forth. In the end, I managed to get Butler and Tanner (the lowest-bidder, Somerset company) to agree a schedule for production by the 20th April which means that I could possibly make the Annual Parish Meeting and Women’s Institute talk have copies for sale as well. I spent much of the day sorting out the photographs and artwork. I had to stick each copy of the plates on individual sheets and then collate the whole. Worse still, was the artwork and layout for the coloured jacket I sweated until 5am in the morning but came out with a very good design.
