Shadows over Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

I was away two weeks ago, and delayed my shipment of Shadows to arrive the week I got back. They actually turned up yesterday, as DHL required a VAT number. Of course, Pelgrane Press is not VAT registered, so I had to juggle things with ProFantasy.

They are beautifully printed and bound - even better than Trail, very sturdy, smythe-sewn with head and foot bands. The artwork glows with silver-screen light. The black end papers contrast effectively with the lurid cover.

But there's one great big bloody problem, and I can't release the damn books. In fact, I'm demanding a reprint. See if you can spot the problem.






There are no headers or page numbers on any even page.

Of course, they are present on both proofs, so the printer has acknowledge the error (though not as yet apologized). I always insist on hanging on to proofs instead of sending them back. I haven't paid any money up front. But what I have done is inconvenience some IPR customers who have pre-ordered their books and are expecting them this week. They will hear from me today.
