2018 research activity

This list is in reverse chronological order. N.B. CUL means Cambridge University Library.

Date	Activity
Late December	Final draft (online) and test print of 10 books. Now to find someone to read them.
Early December	Drafts and changes to black & white illustrations and some re-design to reduce the page count.
October	Cover design still a problem, but have settled on one that is better than the rest of a bad bunch.  I will need some help with the cover design. However its good enough for an Authors Proof.
September	Sent version of book to Book Printing for assessment.  Comes back with report, there is little I need to change.  Have yet to produce a cover design that I like. More editorial changes for errors I’ve spotted (mainly typos) and more indexing.
July & August	Investigating book publishing method. Settled on Book Printing UK for Authors draft.
19 July	First of many reviews of the book. Formatting changes to reduce page count. Changes made to appearance of printed pages. Indexing. Using Adobe to convert colour to B&W for Authors Draft.
