Description: This Uncorrected Proof is a backstage look into the making of the book: The Austere Academy by Lemony Snicket, Illustrated by Brett Helquist, Hardcover ISBN 0064408639 Uncorrected Proofs and ARCs (advanced readers copy) are an excellent view into how a book comes together, and everything about this proof is a great example. From the shadowing on the cover photo to give an idea of how the embossing on the hardcover version would look, to the photo of a sticker on the back with book reviewer service instructions and vital stats about the final size, page count and intended audience in both age and grade level as this is a JP title (juvenile press). This is what publishers circulate to generate buzz and press on a new book in terms of content, MEANWHILE the state of the interior layout is still very much unsettled with placeholders marked 'Art TK' or 'TEXT TK' and rough sketches like the one above revealing the true state of the evolution of the page layout. This is a candid peek into the process of bringing a book from manuscript to market. Plus it's a pretty entertaining read.
