Technical Problems?

Not really, no. But I did a very close examination of my proof copy of the book today, and found the 'Fenriswulf' logo very slightly over the edge of the spine - something I didn't notice before. While I was at it, I decided to add a bit of a blurb to the front cover to give some idea of the content - and to dissuade passing innocent souls from thinking it was just an essay on Christian eschatology: “It is the Dawn of the Second Coming…and the Fourth Reich.”

I thought about revising the cover design further to feature a bloody swastika in 3D perspective, growing out the bottom of the 'T' in the title like a shadow. But I was unhappy about the 'first glance' implications of using such a controversial image, and didn't want to to put anybody off unnecessarily. Yes, the image has been used countless times by writers, film-makers and TV shows over the years, but I don't have their high public profile and the benefit of a full marketing department behind me.

So I pushed the updates through Lulu, and after the usual problems with the retail print price bumping itself up, I am back on track. Orders arrive quickly and I've been pretty chuffed with Lulu's services so far. Their technical support staff are helpful too. Looking forward to the updated final version getting out there.
