This Is Fifty-Three, day 40

Yesterday was focused on preparing a ‘just the words’ version of the book—in part because I know the full-color edition will necessarily be more expensive, so I want to have an alternative available, and in part as a backup in case I run into any problems producing the book the way I currently have it set up.

Of course, this version will not be as exciting to look at, but I have tried to maintain the basic character of the individual sections of the book—keeping the type choices and basic layout conventions. In the process, I caught a couple of things I had previously missed, and came up with a new treatment for the ‘Politics of division’ poem. This version will come in at 200 pages, versus 314 for the full-color edition.
