Got the first set of publisher’s galleys today from Wiley, featuring the “new” WROX imprint stylistic elements. It’s a sharp, simple visual presentation. Galleys are an exciting time in the lifecycle of a book because they mark the point at which your written words no longer look like a word processor brain dump and instead have the feel of an actual printed page (the alignment marks in the margins just make it oh-so-cool, too).
Today’s book progress is: 100% written, about 40% edited, 20% production galleys. We’re still aiming for a springtime release, meaning you can read our words while yelling at the Mets on Opening Day.
