Progress report!

I got past the roughly 40% mark in the 2nd round of Summerworld edits last night.  (The first round was entirely on paper; the 2nd is my collected on-paper edits plus cleaning up the draft directly.)  I'm actually fairly far ahead of schedule, but I'd like to have the edited manuscript over to my test readers for one last round of look-see by April 15.  The absolute drop-dead day for the whole thing to be at the printers is around May 15, since I have to allot two weeks for printing and shipping; that gives me some time to tweak the outer wrap design as well.  There was a woodblock print pattern that I wanted to use, but I'm going to have to leave it off since I'm no longer confident it's in the public domain and can be used as-is.  (Short version: If you downloaded it from somewhere off the Internet, it's probably not in the public domain.)  Fortunately I have a backup plan or three...
