Table Tennis Tactics for Thinkers Update - Print Version
More problems. For some reason, even though I've got the pictures at 300 dpi (dots per inch), the automated software at the print on demand publisher insists they are only 199dpi. I can't tell from the online proofs if they are correct. So I'm going to have a proof copy sent to me so I can inspect it myself and see if the pictures are coming out okay. If so, then it'll be ready for regular publication, hopefully by the end of next week. (Addendum, added ten minutes after posting blog: I just ordered the proof version, which will be expressed, to arrive by Tuesday.)
Table Tennis Tactics for Thinkers - Kindle Version READY!
I've given up for now on trying to include pictures in the Kindle version, since no matter what I do the captions won't stay in place, and appear randomly over the text on different pages. So I've taken most of the 90 of them out, except for a couple of illustrations that have no captions. (There's a chance I might come back to this and figure it out when I have time - so if you would like the photos, wait for that version or order the print version when it comes out in a week or so.) However, the pictures were more decorative than anything else, illustrating what the text covers but not really necessary. For example, when I talk about the tactics of looping, I show several pictures of top players looping, but that's not really needed. So here it is!
