This is the last time I talk about the book until I post the link(s) where it can be bought from. I'll be writing some stuff about my Lulu experience when I finally get the book and hopefully provide some helpful insight and tips for people crazy enough to undertake a project such as this. I've finished formatting the book and I'm about to upload to Lulu and see what manner of trouble I'll get into there.
In the meantime here's the cover. This cover was actually my third attempt as the more work I did the more important this cover became to tie the package with a bowtie.

Very Spiff, Khaled. Though, I expected nothing less. Looking forward to seeing how it all turns out.

David - LOL, I've actually tweaked that text again and again :). I'm forever tweaking the damn thing like you wouldn't believe, so that's the closest it is since I took that screenshot :)lol.
In that description, don't you mean to spell "movable type" rather than "moveable type"?
I just checked and I guess you're right, however for some reason I've always spelt it with an a. Was there some sort of point made by six apart in the early days of MT?
Just as a quick one though, I'm getting a copy delivered so that I can effectively assram it and do all my corrections before unleashing it to the world, so it's bound to go through some tweaks. It's all a bit experiment :).

[...] So recapping January I didn’t complete everything I had on that list of things to do, the main one was Shuttle. My intentions were very good however I got sucked into sorting out my book and that honestly did take a great deal longer than I originally anticipated. I did however sort out a couple of things that have been lingering over my head for a very good long while, mainly my logo and the associated business cards which I’ve also sorted (more about the business cards and online printers in an upcoming mammoth post).
