I finished line edits for Store Design last week. This happens on a printed document, and so the next steps are:
- Type up all of the changes
- Final conceptual pass to add anything that might be missing
- Line edit of anything that gets added (this will take way less time)
- Hand off to someone else to do a final copy edit & preflight
- Get the thing printed
- Get the thing shipped to me
- Get the thing shipped from me to you
This sounds like a lot, but some of these phases are going to be quite short. We’re still on track for a year-end delivery, but this will be my first post-pandemic printing rodeo, and so I wouldn’t be too surprised if this pushes into January or February.
I’m proud of this work. I believe it will act as the definitive statement on store design for at least the next ten years. Preorders continue to be available. Thanks, as always, for your support of our work.
