Book proofs



The print version of Trading Pit Hand Signals is getting closer as I just received the physical proofs from the printer and will have to review and make a couple adjustments before moving closer to production.  What's really exciting about the print version is that we're working with iocolor based in Seattle!

While most might not recognize the name iocolor, some of their work is likely familiar.  In recent years, iocolor did the printing for Modernist Cuisine which is the most visually stunning book I've ever seen.  It's been a lot of fun to read of early posts in that project's blog on how the book creation process unfolded with the same printer and I'm really thrilled to get the print version moving along.

For anyone who loves reading, I can testify that creating a book is easily one of the most rewarding things you could ever do.  The process thus far has had some frustrating moments and distractions but it'll be hard to find another project as enjoyable as making this book. 

My best guess remains that the print version will be available around Labor Day in early September and likely be priced roughly $25 whereas the electronic version is available now for $8.99 in Apple's itunes store.
