As I said in the last post (and on The Gnomes of New Hope Facebook page) laying out the book covers became the lastest stage in publishing. After having finished the page layout for the entire collection, I needed to define how the books were going to be divided up, so that the number of pages match as closely as possible between books. There are to types of books, The Gnome-sized and The Big People Books. The Gnome-sized books will be issued as Seven Books, while the Big People Books will be issued in Three Volumes. Both type books will also be available in boxed sets. Of course, there also is the e-Storybook.
It has been challenging matching up the IBSN numbers to the books and adapting the covers. The GFX on the covers is different between the two editions, so that makes ten covers in all, not to mention the boxes for the boxes set.
So that's were it stands right now. The books are getting closer. I know I keep saying that, but doing the IBSN numbers, bar-codes and covers has identified a total of fourteen published book products. There's more to come, including five stories contained in The Gnomic Tales.
That's all for now. AG
