Penultimately

Ok - that's it.

We've read the proofs.

We've screamed.

We've proof read the proofs.

I've made a list of corrections and restorations.

We've wibbled about missing magazine dates.

I've asked my coeditors to research magazine dates.

I've researched magazine dates.

I've rewritten sections of the book for those dates.

I've spotted an error in a date we already had.

I've conflated all of this into one easy file and put line breaks for each chapter.

That's it.

That's the lot.

Oh, we haven't proofraed the index. We haven't seen the index. I claim no responsibility for the index.

I laugh in the face of a January 30 2009 publication date. A paperback is rumoured for March.
