Well, I guess it's time to say it - I and a certain other FReeper have been in the CreateSpace throes ever since I decided that their cover wasn't quite good enough. My fault - the thing should have been out six months ago. They're almost done - would be by now if I hadn't caught a typo on the back cover. It will be released very soon now.

It started with stuff we wrote here on FR and blossomed from there. I can tell you that it was very, very hard work to get it right. Silly things like formatting we had to learn along the way. Special requirements for Kindle that we still aren't quite through. How do you do hyperlinking for something as simple as the Table of Contents? How do you line up the chapter titles? This is the sort of stuff a commercial publishing house used to do for an author that a self-published author must learn on his or her own.

The working title will be Who Is John Galt? - A Navigational Guide To Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. We will be announcing soon.

Congrats! Sounds great!

Is there going to be a path that takes you through the book, but leaves out all the stuff you’ve already read several times?
