Well, my typescript is all formatted up, front and back covers and all (front cover pictured here). I've created a copyright page, including my permission from Cambridge University Press allowing me to quote form the King James Bible. I've got myself a barcode and ISBN and I've included a dedication and "by the same author" page, which mentions an unforgivably dismal little book (Scriblets) that I put together a few years ago, which is still available on Lulu and is yet to have made a single sale.
I must say that getting this blasted thing formatted has been a real headache. Not on the part of Lulu I hasten to add. It's just that I am not very good with Word documents or PDF's and such. It has been a real learning curve for me, sorting out things like page numbering on certain pages and not on others; different headers and footers for odd an even numbered pages and different headers for different chapters etc. - ugh!
Anyway, it's done now. I have submitted the damn thing to Lulu and am awaiting a proof copy to check for errors. Should be here in a day or two - fingers crossed, nearly there now.
