As you can see it has a "Not for Resale" watermark wrapped around it. I think there might be a few other things that will also differ from the final product. I've also changed some of the text on the back cover since submitting this version for printing.
This being the proof copy, intended for review before the finished product rolls off the assembly line, I've spent much of the time since yesterday looking it over, finding places that need correcting and improving. There have been some of those, things that I didn't catch already. A few chapters for whatever reason had an extra bit of space padding the distance between separate paragraphs. Don't know how that happened in Microsoft Word, but those are all fixed now.
And late last night I got the notice from Amazon: Keeping the Tryst, both the print edition and the ebook, are set to go on sale on October 1st at 12:00 A.M. UTC (that's 7:00 P.M Eastern Standard Time on September 30th for those of us here on the east side of the United States... I think).
This copy has a nice feel and heft to it. It's also printed on cream paper. A lot of friends suggested that it would be better for the eyes instead of pure white. And I might be biased but reading it has a nice "flow" to it. I like to think that for all its size, it's going to be a nice book to read. It's going to go by fairly quickly (sort of like a Game of Thrones novel, back when George R.R. Martin actually did write Game of Thrones books!).
Now, if I can only figure out the best way to market my book. I'll admit that I'm not the best when it comes to presenting a product. The best I ever did was when I ran for school board in 2006 (although if we're to be honest, it IS a bit hard to not get people's attention when you're using the Death Star to blow up schoolhouses!).
