A Speccy Man Has A Breakdown - day 95
A dust jacket situation
Last week the first batch of printed copies was due to land on my doorstep. And ​on Friday they did arrive: 90 hardbacks, on good paper, stitch-bound not glued.
As I mentioned previously, the back cover of the book itself ​has a misprint in the quote I was generously given by Rhik Samadder.
I’m grateful to readers who got in touch expressing hope that their own copy might feature this memorable mistake.
And I can confirm that Rhik’s quote appears without misspelling on the wraparound dust jacket.
But as soon as I opened the first box and pulled out the first copy I instantly realised there was ​a different problem with the dust jacket.
Not something I could have predicted.
I’ve been onto the printer to fix it.
More soon.
***
Just 138 copies of the limited edition hardback remain available.
Who else might like one? Please pass this on.
