My Lovely Computer

Not Em's
actual computer
Tell you what: I don't half love my computer. I am just about to send City Cycling to print - it's finished, at last. But the InDesign file is over a gig large! 1,198,320 KB to be exact. And my lovely, darling, precious computer handles it without a sniff. 'One gig?' it says. 'Pah! I laugh in the face of enormous files! I scoff at your feeble attempts to overload me! I am all-powerful!'
Yes you are, computer. Yes you are.

Glad to hear you've got the files for City Cycling off to press. Are you still expecting it to be in shops in time for the start of the Tour de France (this weekend if I'm not mistaken)? I'd love to know how you are hoping to achieve that if this is the case.

Hi Matthew,
No, sadly not. We had to weigh up the missed opportunity with the fact that if we hurried the book wouldn't be as good as it could be. We went the 'quality' route - although I am deeply sorry to be late. Still, this book is going to be one of those ones that's around for many years, so maybe a couple of weeks' delay won't be too bad.
