After I got the last changes back I quickly verified that the change was correctly made. But, I have seen the publishing journey of others and knew that it would be beneficial to at least take some time and go though the pages. A complete re-read would not be necessary and that would be an even further delay.
After taking a few days to do the review and make sure all formatting was correct and the chapter numbers and pages all seemed correct, I sent my approval for the final manuscript. WOW! That seemed like a very weighty decision. From this point forward changes, if they need to be made will not be easy and likely not be cheap, so all of the extra precautions before approving are well worth it. The full cover spread has been requested and I am waiting for that to come back so that I can review it. Essentially it is the cover that I have already approved combined with the book blurb on the back and the information on the spine of the book formatted and printed. Once that is approved it is onward and upward!
