it’s almost ready

this weekend, massi had to go out of town for work. i think this was a God thing, a heavenly kick in the pants to get me to focus solely on my book and nothing, i mean nothing, else. it has been a very productive weekend so far and tomorrow should get it completely done. that is, if i can find the right presentation stuff-papers, binding, you know. that stuff. is there anywhere better than kinkos for this kind of thing? i kind of find their binding and paper options deplorable. so, before i bore you further with bookmaking details, here’s the stats:
proposal is done, other than a couple technical questions.
sample pages are done, other than one or two pages needing a tiny bit of tweaking.
presentation questions still need to be answered:
how many sample pages does one put in a proposal when it’s not full typed pages? do you bind the book, or leave it loose? what kind of paper should i use that will showcase the visual without being plain ol white paper? can i also share it electronically, and if so how do i maintain the visual integrity?
so many questions, it looks like, i know. but really, honestly, i’m soooooo close.
don’t go to kinkos!

I thought I left a comment, but maybe not.
There are a couple of local book manufacturers in GR that might be able to help you out. http://www.localfirst.com/calendar/121
