The miraculous Andrew Steeves, editor, book-designer and the deft publishing brain behind Gaspereau Press (alongside the venerable Gary Dunfield) is busy working the final design for the novel, including the jacket. The initial proof is, as expected, beautifully and aptly made.
As it stands, the book is approximately 5"x 8" and 224 pages, type-set in Adobe Caslon and Matthew Carter's Big Caslon. Looks like the jacket will be a fine, elegant letter-press.
Hope to have the real thing in my hands (and many of yours) in time for Gaspereau's annual Waysgoose, slated for the weekend of October 23. Hope to travel to Kentville to celebrate, read and meet the Gaspereau team face-to-face.
The official Newfoundland launch (no doubt at St. John's infamous Ship Inn) will be planned and announced soon. Stand by.
