FROM BOOK FIVE Young Bezaliel is christened to become A Master Gnome by the Elder Gnomes |
Just a note to say we will be building inventory of finished books. I will start with 100 of each book, in order to to get them on the shelf, establish the production line and other business details to manage production and distribution. I expect, as I mentioned before, that Limited Editions will be produced at Image of the Mind Studios, however, if as I expect, the new manufacturing process produces the results I hope for, then even higher production will maintain the Hand-Stitched Covers (both in-house & jobbed out) . This new assembly method brings hand-Stitching into competition with machine binding in terms of efficiency. Depending on demand, I will either set-up assembly in-house or job it out. I say all this because we are moving at a good pace to finish the Illustrations for Book Five, which I was concerned about, because that book has a number of of other stories that comprise The Gnomic Tales. As it turns out, we are adjusting nicely to crafting a different look for those books, due to the strylines taking place in the History of Gnomanity. So far, so good. I do want to build "The Elder Gnomes Joint Venture to produce and manage this project. So if you are interested as an investor/Board Member, let me know. AG
