Oofta! Final version in for proof review
I think it’s the final. It now runs 46,000 words, up substantially from the first edition and up a fair amount from the fourth edition. I reduced font size to keep the number of pages close to the same, but the font is still large enough for ease in reading.
CreateSpace will review the PDF file, let me know, and I then order a copy of what I hope is the final proof. The Wife will do that proofreading: once I consider it truly done, and I’ve found all the errors I can, she reads it with a fresher eye. (It’s amazing, though, how errors will persist from edition to edition: I corrected some that have been in the book a long time—minor stuff, like “and and” and “you” for “your”: the eye just glides over those. But not this time.
That’s a lottttttttttt of work, plus you have spanish classes starting again!!! I cannot wait for the
Fifth Edition! Anticipation is good, right? …cause I look for the Fifth Edition everyday. I have made some new acquisitions, (several of them) and hope to tell you about them after the release of your new edition of “Gourmet Shaving”. HA! Amor y Respeto, Liebe und Respekt.

It indeed was a fair amount of work—especially redoing things after MS Word went crazy a few times. (That seemed to stop with the upgrade to Word 2010 for Windows.) I’m now thinking that I will be able to publish the 5th edition within a week from today.
Spanish classes have started, but I would have had to enroll in an evening class, so I decided that I’d just work through the text on my own—which is pretty much what I did last semester in any case. If that doesn’t work out, I can just enroll in Spring semester.
