And hey, look! The inside is correct now! Page numbers on the outside margins!

Well, I have more books to show off! This is going to be a longer blog post, so I'm going to put the majority of it behind a "read more" link. First of all, here's my corrected version of the paperback edition of Book I: As you can see, the front cover doesn't bleed over a few millimeters onto the spine like it did on my first copy. So that must have just been a quirk of the printing process, and will hopefully (assuming anyone other then me ever orders themselves a copy of this) be correct on the majority of copies of this book. And hey, look! The inside is correct now! Page numbers on the outside margins! Moving onto something we haven't seen yet, here's the new paperback edition of Book II! The paperback edition came out pretty good, if I do say so myself! Since Book II is not quite as long as Book I, I didn't have to use as tiny a font as I did in Book I to fit it all within Lulu's maximum page count for this style of book. It's still a smallish 9 point font, but not as tiny (but still readable) as Book I's 8 point font. And in other new book news, here's the new hardcover Book III! Cracking it open to take a look inside... Like the hardcover versions of the first two books, the font inside is a much more respectable 10 point font. I did notice one rather big goof! As seen in the last photo above, when crediting Chapter 10 (containing the text of Boy Scouts ½ in Japan part 10) I completely forgot the "some plot elements suggested by" credit for my good friend Jason! (This is made especially egregious when you consider, as seen in the circled paragraph, I even discuss this credit in the text that follows!) I will fix this, probably sometime over the next week. But if anyone out there is actually wanting to order themselves a copy, and wants to make sure I have actually fixed this first, do feel free to leave a comment in response to this blog post asking me about this. I will be happy to confirm if it is fixed. (Or, failing that, I'll be happy to quickly go and fix it right away knowing someone out there actually wants to order this book!) A few final photos of Book III: So now all of Boy Scouts ½ (until I get more written, hopefully soon!) is now available in hardcover format. Just think how lovely it could look on your bookshelf! Or, if you're a paperback fan, while you can't (yet) get Book III in that format, you can at least have all of the stories comprising "Year One" of Boy Scouts ½ to grace your very own shelves. Or you could go completely crazy, and own the entire Boy Scouts ½ library! All of these are available for purchase at the Boy Scouts ½ bookstore! (Or, you can read them all for free with downloadable PDFs from this page here. Or, for another free option, there is pretty much the rest of this website. However you choose to experience Boy Scouts ½, I hope you enjoy it!)
