I am in the process of publishing my first book using POD technology with one of Amazon’s subsidiaries. I was planning to get it all done by this month. I was at the last stage, where I needed to approve a proof and the book would have been released for sale on Amazon. Today I received a proof copy, which I was eagerly awaiting for weeks. I unpacked it, took it in my hands, and flipped through it. I liked it. Then my brain registered that something is wrong with it. I flipped through it quickly couple more times thinking. Then I realised what it is. There is no page numbers! I simply forgot to insert them when formatting the manuscript. This means that I cant approve this proof, I will have to replace the files and start all over again. And the book will not be released for another month or so. The good thing though is that I noticed it now rather than later.

Nice look, I like the cover design :)
