the print copy of William Blake's Jerusalem Explained has arrived....set for Blake's 250 birthday.... the number of mistakes missed by me was very high....caught by my consultant editor's publication editing and proof reading skills.....and I'm pleased by the excellent ranking on Google and Amazon for critical and analytic books on Blake's Jerusalem, it is listed on Page I on both. it is a weighty tome well over 600 pages.

i find self-enhancement in writing and presentation.......there is a point in holding critical excellence in high regard.. ... this is means i needed to learn the print on demand requirements and its market environment.

my print on demand suggestion is to begin with a professional editing consultant to take responsibility to take the text through the publish-on-demand publication editing requirements....... cover design........ layout and copy editing....... proof-reading, all supported by IT, photoshop, adobe, quark, publisher.......and the science of colour.

i found the text needs a professional academic consultant editor to produce a professional copy for high level publication ............... evidence of course is William Blake's Jerusalem Explained itself. the editor, with The William Blake Press: Cambridge created the layout and cover design, proof-reading, hard text and market location. not all are so fortunate as i am to have the time of an expert editor who has now completed William Blake's Jerusalem Explained.....if you are a professional academic who needs a good copy editor for a print on demand publication, use The William Blake Press: Cambridge.
