Book work

I spent most of today getting the next book into shape. The text itself is okay, but now I am having to tinker with the formatting. Little piddly stuff, but it takes forever and it does make a big difference in how the book looks.

Tom, meanwhile, has been using his design skills to put together a great cover. I still have to write the copy for the back, and even the title is not final yet. But I thought I would post this much so you can see what a good job he has done.

He did this based on an old portrait of Gratian when he was being held hostage by Turkish pirates.

Looks kind of melancholy, doesn't it?
