Today I received a hard copy of the gamebook from the P.O.D. company. It sure does look good, but of course I'm biased! The cover put together by my collaborator has really popped into life when printed on shiny card. He's done an outstanding job of work.
I'm glad I paid for this copy as it's highlighted a couple of issues that need to addressed and a revision made. Just like all stories need to be revised and edited before release, print editions all need to be printed and checked before going public.
In this case the bar code on the rear has crossed over some of the blurb text; it's come out significantly larger than I expected. Secondly despite all of the read throughs and double and triple checking, there is a sub heading that is not highlighted as it should be. Drat! and double drat! You must always check the release before you blurt out and tell the world. If I hadn't checked I could have been pushing a sub-standard text on an unsuspecting public. However the joy of POD is that I can just make a minor revision online and it will be good to go!
