The proof copy of Volume 2 has arrived!

To keep creator expenses down, Whitlock sends these unbound, so what I got in the mail was a big stack of loose pages and an un-cropped cover. Check them out:

All this is well ahead of schedule — last year’s Volume 1 proof came on December 15.

As usual, I’m going to take a couple days and look through it, make sure everything came out okay. It’s hard to tell in this photo, but the cover printed a little dark — I’ll probably adjust the values and send the printer a new source file.

And then we go to press!
