My Arcadia book is different from the four self-published books I've produced: 3 or my poetry and essays and one compendium of biography, poetry, detailed bibliography and photography about Vachel Lindsay. My self-published efforts made me comfortable with Microsoft PUblisher and the mechanics of book layout, but the Arcadia experience taught me a LOT more. Conforming to my own pace is one thing; conforming to the pace of a publisher whose success as a business is very much my own concern. It's nice work if you can get it, and you can get it if you try.

I have self published two books so far, and am in the process of writing another, so I can relate to the kind of details you speak of here, Job. Good luck with the new book.
