The project targets were achieved through the dedication of our author Julie L'Enfant for her exceptional attention to detail. Our editors are meticulous in the correction of a manuscript by finding grammar and spelling errors, standardizing style using the Chicago Manual of Style, fact checking, improving clarity and flow, and being careful not to change the author's meaning and own style of writing.
In the upcoming final phase of this book project (production, design, and printing), all proofs (usually two) from the printer will be carefully reviewed by Ian Graham Leask and Beth Williams to confirm that the product meets Afton Press standards. We will then receive a final folded-and-gathered copy of the book to review one last time before giving the go-ahead to complete the printing process.
Afton Press will have funds set aside in the budget, along with income from book sales, for the ongoing promotion of this project and for reprints and additional editions. We have a cooperation agreement with the University of Minnesota Press to distribute our art books to book stores, museum shops, and libraries throughout the country and indeed the world.
