Once the book was all proofed and the camera ready art produced, and once I had the color separation for the cover all produced I was ready to order the first run of books which was approximately 1000 copies.
NRI Schools sent me a check in advance for these books. How can you beat that? So I sent everything off to Whitehall Publishing and waited nervously.
A couple of weeks later several heavy boxes arrived. So exciting!
I cracked open one of the boxes and grabbed one of the fresh books. What a neat thing to hold the result of so much work in my hands. This really looked just like a book that you would buy at the store.
And then... I opened the book to the first page and my heart sank. The very page had a spelling mistake. I misspelled the word congratulations. :-/
It read Congradulations. What? How could I miss that?
Ah well, it was still a great day! :-)
