Vastly increased cost estimate due to the printer underestimating the amount of pages. Page proofs bounced back and forth. Each item becomes a battleground. On one page five errors are corrected and three new ones are introduced. Bibliography finally arrives with over 70 errors.
Cover proofs arrive.
A bad joke. Wants more money for the cover. Does no design work, but simply wants to slap the name and author on. Claims he never agreed to our ownership of the negatives. Luckily, we find his initial letter.
