A real, physical book

I received my first copy of the bound book today. I have to admit being a bit underwhelmed by the physical thing ... 512 pages looks a lot bigger on laser printer paper. That's ironic because we really worked hard to keep the length down. I was inspired by watching director's commentary on DVD movies, which so often say "We shot a really good scene in which Patrick eats his parrot, but we needed to move the main plot along, so we chopped it."

We use a lot of gray backgrounds and very light rules, which tend to come out either too light or too dark as we move from laser printer to laser printer. They came out great; the gamut of printing presses is much wider, and the resolution much higher, than the best laser printers.
