Happy Final Space Friday! Got physical samples in the mail this week and big progress to share. All interior color is officially approved. It looks great! That part is locked and looking great. The cover is almost there. We caught one thing in the sample stage that we want to fix before final approval. Mooncake and Little Cato are landing right on the fold line, and that fold tucks into the inside cover for the hardcover. I don’t want either of them getting swallowed by the edge. So we’re doing a quick adjustment. Likely shifting Mooncake and the title up a bit, nudging Little Cato over, or adding a little extra space on the bottom and right side. Nothing scary, should be done by end of day. Cover approval was pretty late in the printing process for Midnight, just means were at that stage for this. The important part: interiors are fully approved, and cover tweaks at this stage but they look great! We’re in that final stretch. More soon! -Olan
