Thebaid Book Pre-Order Store to remain open until 12:00 Midnight ET on Monday, March 4, 2024.

Dear Fellow Pilgrims,

A brief but important news bulletin today:

The Final Proof Copy of The North American Thebaid Book has arrived at St Tikhon’s, and the Press has begun reviewing it for any remaining spelling, grammar, punctuation, formatting, and design issues which may have been missed in our final review of the digital book file three weeks ago.

The plan is for St Tikhon’s to finish their review towards the end of next week, then ship the proof copy to me for my review. I will, of course, be especially concentrating on the images, making sure they reproduced in print accurately, with correct color balance (or sepia tone, as the case may be), and with “impact.”

This is a very exciting time for us, and I look forward to announcing when we’ve finished our reviews and any last edits and tweaks, and are going to press.

As mentioned in the sub-title, I have set a deadline for pre-orders: Monday, March 4, 2024, at 12:00 Midnight Eastern Time, 11:00PM Central. Below are some important notes on key aspects of the pre-orders.

My heartfelt thanks for all your support and prayers for the North American Thebaid Photographic Pilgrimage and Book Project.

Yours in Pre-Press Mode,

zosimas
