The proof copy of
Blasphemy! The Musical has arrived! And it looks great! More than great! In fact... it looks every bit as good as I'd hoped, and I had
very high hopes. Of course since then I've been adding dozens of pictures to the book, so the finished article will be even better than the copy I have in my grubby little paws.
The proof copy of the book was ordered early (minus most of the pictures inside) just to confirm that the cover worked well and the pages looked good. It's a slightly shorter book (192 pages) than The Atheists Are Revolting! (216 pages) so I had to make sure that the title fits onto the spine, and all the other technical stuff to do with fonts, margins, etc. Nothing to worry about - it's all good.
The pictures I'm using are really putting the icing on the cake. I'm using a subscription to a reputable stock photo agency, which involves searching through zillions of images, but how do you find something which would go well with a song called Jewish, Busty And Hung Over? It takes a lot of time and no small measure of lateral thinking, I can tell you, but it's all falling into place.
I have around 30 images still to add to the book and I'm currently adding 10 per day, so here's that date again: 12 November 2008. It's looking like I will definitely release the book on that date. You'll hear it here first because I may not make a YouTube announcement immediately, so for those of you dedicated enough to hang around this web site, you'll be the first to know. See you in 4 days!
