Goings on and a question for readers

[kinzel]

First, a report in the day lily population, which in this corner of the state pops up quite late....

but no, none in our yard yet.  A preliminary count looks to show 55 or 60 buds. I do hope they won't
all show up on the day after we leave for Worldcon...

meanwhile ...

Sharon's Barnburner and Gunshy  have been on sale 6 or 7 years and I'm wondering if anyone has comments on the idea of us making up an omnibus of the. In particular, those of you who read mystery regularly, I guess. The thing is that the electronic file for Barnburner was lost at the printers -- one made by shooting paper pages -- and if we need to redo it all it may just be worth resetting both into a single volume, with typoes fixed and the like... Anyone?

Hum? Just happened to think -- there's some kind of electronic file for Barnburner at Fictionwise? Would starting with that make it any easier?

Ah. We have electronic files. What was lost was the layout electronic file, with all the codes and grids and stuff that make it something a computerized press can read and print.

Ah. I know some of the names -- QuarkXPress, Adobe Pagemaker, InDesign, Framemaker -- but have never worked with them. I know enough to know that this is a serious step up.
