NEXTPLANETOVER responses
Posted By: MACK! I just answered a lot of questions one the NEXPLANETOVER.com message board.
The following was one of my responses that I thought may be interesting to some.
Here it is:
Thanks for mentioning the Metamorphosis hardcover.I just recieved the
Blueline of it from the printer today.
I'm pretty happy with all the pages that I devoted to the design and pacing
of the book. I actually had to include an extra 8 more pages than I advertised
it with. Now it is 288 pages. Also it occured to me that in all the previous books, that I had never put a
bio or "about the author" kind of thing. So the hardcover includes a bio and
author info that includes some background and info to frequently asked
questions.

Though there is a cool, intro by Bill
Sienkiewicz and an insightful afterword by (Oscar wining filmmaker) John Sayles,
most of the pages are for the design atmosphere, intro art, and so the pacing
and cover gallery between chapters lets the book breathe and read at the right
melody. This was more important to me than just filling it with a sketchbook.
Also I'm very happy with the dustjacket art. And most importantly, it is just
cool for me to have the whole nine issue story in one big hardcover format. The
story reads so much better this way.
