I finished designing the body of the book, which was a great process. Every small change had an incredible butterfly effect on the rest of the book. It took me an entire day to take care of widows and orphans, which are single lines of a paragraph at the top or bottom of a page. I had to write more in some areas to fix issues. I am sure a Professional Book Designer doesn’t have that luxury, but thankfully I do.

And now, the front matter. I added a half-title, full title page, copyright, dedication, and acknowledgements. I’m very pleased with the way everything looks! I also have to admit, the full title page made my heart melt. It is incredible to see it all coming together.
