I just got some proofs for the book and they look great, except for one thing: somewhere in the process the fact that these are CMYK + spot gloss books got lost, and the printer diligently converted all my sweet spot gloss overlays into opaque CMYK stuff, which pretty much looks terrible. Books at Rainfurrest are definitely not happening, and I’m now thinking of aborting APE since I don’t feel confident I’ll have them for that. Oh well, they should be in hand for Further Confusion, and for other cons next year!
