It's great to know what goes on between the time a contract is signed and the book appears on the shelf. <BR/><BR/>ARC's always contain the warning that it is an unproofed edition. Problem is, I've noticed a lot of final editions with the same mistakes in them as in the ARC's.Illuminating Fictionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12635531296994027039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10583449.post-1139419745719948212006-02-08T09:29:00.000-08:002006-02-08T09:29:00.000-08:00Wow, that almost makes my brain hurt.

Is the emotional attachment there, just like when you're going through it the first time?Lynette Sowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14744849531318234556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10583449.post-1139368176433764292006-02-07T19:09:00.000-08:002006-02-07T19:09:00.000-08:00I agree with all the aboce comments, and I'm amaze...I agree with all the aboce comments, and I'm amazed at all the people involved in publishing a manuscript!Bonnie S.

That's interesting. I thought it happened later than that. So you wind up with a file different than the finished book, unless you add the changes.<BR/><BR/>Unless I'm misunderstanding this, of course! LOL! The graphic design side of my brain is fascinated with this process. I wish I could see a book being laid out. :-)Dineen A.

Thanks for using a real example and making it understandable :)D.

It's also interesting to hear that the ARC's are bound BEFORE the proofing. I've read some ARC's that have had glaring typos and wondered about that.C.J.

The way everything was broken down in a real timeline was especially helpful, because it's not only what the different editing steps are, but also the amount of time they give you to go over the edits and when you turn them in.<BR/><BR/>CamyCamy Tanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14577747925320907186noreply@blogger.com
