I need to take a moment to say that, this book? Is good. Of course, I’ve only proofed the acknowledgements and the introduction, but so far, excellent. (I’ve found two errors! But it’s the same error twice and involves a missing accent, so.)

I love what almost a year away from something can bring. (Handling those six copyedits don’t count, because I didn’t actually read the book at that point; I was paging through it to get to the queries.) Reading it in its final page layout helps a lot, too. It’s pretty, and it looks just like a Real Book.

That is all. Thank you. Now, back to proofing these galleys.
