Layout approved!

I've been debating sharing this next process with you. It's not something that I've ever seen anyone actually divulge. Not that it's all that big of a deal, it's just not something I've seen anyone do! For me, as a publisher, and a creative type I find every step along the way of publishing a book very exciting.
I've done it 4 times now from start to finish. Maybe my next one will be a "how-to" book! If I can find a way to illustrate it, I'll do it!
So, back to the point. After I have sent funds to the printer, they then provide me with a digital "proof" and that's what I want to share here. It won't be a full quality proof, obviously, but it is very interesting to look at and approve. It's a little confusing, because the pages are rotated and flipped and appear to be all out of order. Once I have studied the proof and made sure everything is in the right place, I give the go-ahead and the book goes to press. I have checked the proofs and everything is ready to go.
The hard part is the waiting! The book is printed and bound within a few days, but the shipping takes about a month! So, enough teaser, here is the digital proof, kind of cool huh?
