The proof books arrived and those extra days of working on the pdf files paid off. Every thing sits where I wanted it, there are no major goofs that jump out at me and all in all the book feels very substantial and just plain "good." When I slide back down off the high of seeing it I will begin to go over it word-by-word to see what got away from me and catch it now.

One other decision I need to make is how to and if I must, get the kanji on the cover. Will see what happens when I try that again without the pressure to get things done.
