"This and that" spread on toast

I know this is getting quite monotonous but, between my book and Kinky, there seems to be little else on my mind. Well, that ain't quite the truth, but is just as much as I can divulge without violation of attorney-client privilege. ;)

So, was surely hoping to see the "proof" in today's mail ... seems we got the final edit back and it actually showed another half-dozen grammatical errors* and -- OK it gets a bit long here -- to replace the current content of the book, I have to reject this copy, load the corrected file, and await the delivery of the next proof to accept and thereby start the two-week period where the printer stares mindlessly at the project** prior to any chance to receive any substantial number of volumes.

Looks like I am not going to even have any product on hand*** when I hit Roswell come 4th of July. For my reaction, read the look on my face.

*I'll lay money on the fact that I could read through those 300+ pages of text and still manage to overlook some simple mistake or two or three.

**I am not absolutely sure that is what I read, but can assure you it is an accurate assessment of what filtered through my mind.

***I should actually have at least one, and maybe two, "proof" copies so as to actually be showing what I am trying to sell.
