Ch-ch-ch-changes

Last night, I sent my publisher the last of the updates for a few of graphics in the book. Since the production schedule has the book going to press in May, I had time to make updates that I thought would have to wait for a second edition.


Now, the graphic that shows American trade deficits is up to date and seasonally adjusted from 1960 all the way to the fourth quarter of 2010.


Also, a graphic that shows the vacancies by storefront and square footage at the Logansport Mall is up to date, adding the recent departures of Arnold’s Jewelry and Gifts and Maurices.


And finally, a three-map graphic that shows the Hispanic population as a percentage of total population for every county in Indiana now includes 1990, 2000, and 2010 census data.


So that should be it! Now I wait for the “soft” proofs from the publisher to arrive so my editors can give it one last round of close scrutiny … then we’re off to press! I can’t wait to actually h0ld this book in my hands and finally see it completed!
