# Changelog

All notable changes to this book are recorded here, in
[Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/) form. Work lands under
[Unreleased] as it happens and rolls into a dated version section when a
release is tagged; CI extracts that section as the release notes.

## [Unreleased]

Nothing yet.

## [1.0.1] - 2026-07-18

### Fixed

- Four plates recut under the engraver's discipline: the shop at
  morning stands level, the press proof lost its torn-paper mat and
  the quotation marks around its placard, the imposed forme sits
  square on the stone, and the wayzgoose seats the whole shop with the
  devil served first. Placards read EVERY PAGE A WITNESS and LOOK AT
  THE PAGES, unquoted.

## [1.0.0] - 2026-07-18

### Added

- Scaffolded from the press template.
- The full manuscript: preface, nine chapters, the scar ledger, and the
  glossary of the shop, 12,461 words.
- The full art program, commissioned and engraved by the press's art
  department: fourteen interior plates cut by one hand, the Giants
  orange cover stamped in gold with the title's period intact, the
  printer's fist imprint device, and the author's portrait engraved
  from a photograph, placed on the author's page.
- An author's page closing the back matter.

### Added

- A table of authorities: every factual claim about the printing trade
  mapped to a published source (Moxon 1683, the OED, Jacobi, Ellic Howe,
  and others), enforced against the text on every build and published as a
  separate companion document.
- Footnotes on the Trial of the Pyx, the out-of-sorts compositor, the
  fine-press colophon custom, and more.

### Fixed

- Five claims the source audit found overstated or anachronistic:
  softened the "first craft to verify" superlative, retired the
  offset-era "press check" from a hand-press list, dated the wayzgoose to
  Bartholomew-tide, and qualified the compositor-in-the-colophon custom as
  a fine-press courtesy.

### Changed

- The whole manuscript revised for voice: coined maxims capped at two per
  chapter, uniform rhythm broken, self-annotation cut. Eleven hundred
  words left; the doctrine stayed.

- The imprint is LGTM Publishing, the personal shelf's mark.
- The cover: bright orange linen, metallic leaf, and the roundel where a
  mechanical arm lowers the R sort into the forme under a watching eye.
- Full print front matter: cover plate, treatise title page, colophon
  with the imprint device, and the trade's oldest epigraph.
