Despite me thinking that the proofing process was closed, Springer sent us \u2018Revised Proofs\u2019 on Saturday 7th<\/sup> June to check and return by Monday 9th<\/sup> June. This was good news as far as I was concerned as it provided opportunities to both check that the proofing changes we had specified had all been done correctly (and, indeed, I did spot 27 shortcomings); and to specify a further 15 changes which my continuing checks on the references had identified (I might add that the vast majority of all these changes were relatively minor involving changes to only a few words, if that). This time round, we had been asked to specify changes in annotations to a revised PDF, so I used the pdf callout facility to document the change needed in a box with an arrow next to the relevant text. My co-author, Peter, had work priorities over these few days, so the changes \u2013 and anything missed \u2013 are all down to me.<\/p>\n

I duly submitted the annotated proof around 9pm on the night of Monday 9th<\/sup> June; and the next day we received an email from Springer acknowledging receipt of our comments and saying that they would review and incorporate them in accordance with Springer\u2019s guidelines after which they would proceed with the online publication process. I\u2019m not too clear with what \u2018the online publication process\u2019 entails; nor do I understand why the publication date continues to move – as at the date of this post in Springer’s web site<\/a> it currently stands at 26th<\/sup> July. However, I do think that the proofing process is now truly complete. In an interesting development, Waterstones appears to have pulled its web page advertising the book, and I wonder if that is because of they have grown impatient with the continual movement of the publication date. Beck-Shop and Amazon, however, are still offering the title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
