Another delay in the printing of the book. Expected date of publication now Monday 4th September

An irritating delay. Yesterday I received what I hoped would be the final test copy. Unfortunately a printing glitch had kicked in. The major problem with the test copy back from the outsourced printers is that on more than 600 occasions the test copy has replaced a single opening quote (i.e. a ') by a double comma (i.e. ,,) hence we have stuff like

'The Road' becomes ,,The Road'
'The Professor' becomes ,,The Professor'
'Stroller' becomes ,,Stroller'

and so on and so on and so on ... really very irritating - especially as the last-but-one test copy did not have this glitch.

So, we are having to re-submit, I then have to approve another test copy and then production (taking up to three weeks) will begin. Expected date of publication now Monday the 4th September 2017 .... arrgghh!
