To maximize the multi-media experience for readers unfamiliar with the Multi-Touch
format a 3-page user's guide to the book's "bells and whistles" has been included
Well, OK, I don't live in Houston and publishing a media-rich, interactive ebook isn't exactly rocket science. (Although, for someone who usually makes his living with technologies that harken back to the Rennaisance and beyond, it can sometimes "feel" rather Buck Rogers.)
Hi-res panoramas, oils sketches, and (on the following page) finished paintings abound
Everything has been checked -- images are all in place, the text has been proofread (thrice) for typos, all the videos run, and all scrolling sidebars scroll. Apple has approved the final manuscript (all 155 pages). Sales begin in 51 markets* world-wide on October 15. (That's where the "T minus 30" came from.) And pre-orders begin TODAY!!!
Pages from my journals are reproduced throughout the book
