Mari/PEACE out this month!
#7
Shlama all--

More news on the Mari/PEACE front. Don't worry--we are still on track. My publisher is going to try to run the first pre press final review copies tomorrow. My proofreader and I will have the physical copies a few days later, to coincide with my return home from the rehab facility in two days. He has made some new decisions that I think are going to make it even better. To get an idea of what the volume will look like, see this example from JPS: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.jewishpub.org/product.php?isbn=9780827606562">http://www.jewishpub.org/product.php?isbn=9780827606562</a><!-- m -->.

As some of you know, we had long intended to use a laminate cover, 6x9 format. But then we found out that laminate cover can scuff and fade when shipped and we have decided to use a more expensive hard cover (non cloth) process that will increase quality and still keep the unit price in range for all of you. We will also be using heavier, higher quality paper as well. It is an investment in higher quality that Baruch is making out of his own pocket. As I told him tonight, it is easy for me who gets a percentage but doesn't pay for physical production to cheerlead for this but it is a major mitzvah for Baruch to pour all he has on the front end to make this volume the best it can be not just on the inside but in its bindery as well---and just wait until you see the design!

I still believe August is the month for Mari even though we are making these higher and better changes this late in the game. if it goes to September I will say so directly but really all that remains is final approval on the physical copy and we should be able to take orders. Stay tuned.

Shlama w'burkate
