On the weekend I was sent a double-page composite of the final cover art. And it makes me think - wow, this is really happening. It really looks like a book! It's got the little barcode on it and the company logo stamp and everything! And the designer really killed himself over the pattern on the back (you'll know when you see it

Late June....just in time for Anime Expo and Comic-Con though, I believe. *can't wait* X3

I'll let you know about any typos and stuff, haha~ :P

*can't wait* Oh......speaking of scanners, which one do you recommend? Someone told me Epson. I'm mainly looking for one that ahs a bigger scanning bed, just like you said when I showed you that comic page. Haha. :P

I will probably be going for a Canon, like my old one - it lasted five years, after all! HP is another good brand. Epson - never used one, but they seem reputable.

Yeah, they're shipping a stack of titles to be out by the mid year cons. And if you pick up a typo in a printed version...I'm not sure I'll want to know about it at that stage!

Any specific type with the scanner bed larger than 8.5 x 11? So far on the Canon site, it just has 8.5 x 11 for the scanning size.

Nope, just that standard size. I have to scan each page twice (top half and bottom half) then attach them seamlessly in photoshop. It's a pain, but larger scanners are ridiculously expensive.

I suppose I got no choice for now.Well, at least it's not impossible to do manga with 8.5 x 11 Just have to follow the trim.

I ended up buying a used Epson 836XL on Ebay to get a larger scanning bed - they're just not making them for the home market anymore.

It's just not what 'regular' folk need, I guess. I can get by without the big bed , but it's fiddly.
