So, I've had the galleys for about two weeks now. I've distributed most of them, and feedback is starting to come in.

And.... oy.

Of course, you always expect there to be more things to fix than you expected, even when you take into account that there will be more things to fix than you expected. But then there are more things to fix than even that. I had been hoping to publish in late January; now I'm hoping by Purim.

Looking on the positive side, I have been getting lots of wonderful and useful feedback -- corrections of my errors (both embarrassingly egregious and subtle) and suggestions for improvements that I didn't see. I have been getting encouragement from people I respect to press forward, that I really have created something useful and new and worth the extra effort to make it ready to share more widely.

Oh, do press forward - even if I didn't think this is likely to be the most useful siddur Ever for people like me, it would still be a super project. You're not taking $ in pre-orders yet, are you?

Not yet. Paypal has a policy of allowing fee-free cancellations within 60 days, so until I think I'm within 60 days of getting them printed I'm holding off on taking pre-orders. You're already on the list of "people who have expressed interest" so you'll get an email when I open pre-ordering.

Sorry to hear about all the changes -- but, at least, better now than after publication, right? I'm looking forward to getting my copy.
