Status update: Ready to print!
July 29, 2010 - Today I did the final edits and exported the print-ready PDFs. Tomorrow I talk to an investor who wants to front the printing costs. Fingers crossed there. If that deal doesn't work out, I'll do on-demand digital printing -- which will get the book moving in the next couple weeks.
Stoked!
