Chris was emphasizing at TLE today that you REALLY need to get this in ASAP.

Just a friendly little reminder.

It's done.  How does it look?  The lettering appears odd on my computer.

Old One, do you want me to email it to you?

It works.

I would have suggestions, but I don't think they are important enough to consider this close to the deadline.

It's fine as is.

I really appreciate your help on this, 42.  I had no idea even where to start, and your quick, down-and-dirty suggestion for someone artistically challenged really helped me out.  

By the way--did you ever send that invoice to Tor?

I sent and invoice to Tor a while back, but they never got back to me. Not sure if that means the deals off or what? It's probably about time I contact them again.

The only thing I would change would be to take out the word "the" in front of "sample chapters"--so it reads "to read sample chapters." But that's a minor thing. The OSC blurb works well, and you're directing them to where they can read more, so that helps with the getting a bit of the story.

Looks good, and I think you were smart to play up the fact that you were a BYU Grad.  Considering TLE's audience (mostly alums isn't it?)  that was smart.

Very good. I agree with Stacer's comment on the "the," and Skar's comment on the BYU connection, and...well, everything, really. I think it's going to look great, provided TLE's current production head knows how to do grayscale properly.

Probably best to format as a PDF so the text isn't rasterized at such a low resolution...
