SECOND PROOFS HAVE BEEN PASSED!

The second proofs came back from the printers looking great, so the files have been passed and the book should be on press very soon. But first we have to sign off a set of plotter proofs – folded and gathered sections, so we can check that the pages are in the right order.

After that the book will go to press and they will be shipped back at the end of the September, arriving in October. A few advance copies will be air-freighted over for us to check before the bulk of them are despatched. There's always a lot of checking to do with books – it seems their success lies in the detail as much as it does in the pictures they contain!
