I was so nervous as I waited for the new edition of Galaxion Book 1: The Jump to arrive, but now that I’ve got them in my hands, I love them. I love the new cover art. I love how much nicer the black and white art inside looks. I love the embossed gold foil (I’m a sucker for the shiny). I love that we were able to fix the few small errors from the first edition that probably nobody else noticed but bugged the heck out of me. And I love that we can offer all this wonderful stuff for cheaper than the old edition! The cover price is $11.99 US, which is about three dollars cheaper than before. So awesome.
I hope to have our store updated very soon, but until then if you’d like to order a scribbled-in-by-the-author copy, shoot me an email.
Wow Tara that does look pretty! I want gold embossing!! I don’t think it would suit my book though… too fancy for demented bears
Looks a beaut! I’ll buy one when I have some spare cash, for sure.
shiny!
Wow, that is awesome! How did you find a printer that does gold foil printing?
@Jules: Well, you have to use an offset printer, but it’s not an unusual trick in book publishing (just peruse the science fiction/fantasy shelves at your local bookstore!). I used Transcontinental, and there was a small additional charge for the foil and embossing. Back in the ’90s when I used Quebecor, they did gold foil for me as well.
