I took the air book to the printers today. Within 3 hours they had a proof copy for me using the color copier. I made a few small changes, it will go to print in the next few days and will be available by Columbus.
I also received a pre-copy of the Gas Pump book. I for some reason wasn't expecting the book to look as good as the first one, but I have done a 180, it is great looking. I really don't know how to explain this, but on the edge where you place your thumb to skim through the pages, first of all the made it red, then they put a white make for the letters of the alphabet. Also around every page is a red border.
Now from the "If miracle come true" department.
When they sent me the pre-Gas Pump copy, my editor said this was unusually quick, and if they are this far ahead of schedule the book might be in before Columbus. Probably won't know until the last minute, but I can dream.
Thanks for all your support on the Air Book.
