Revisting Trains

One of the advantages of publish on demand is that revising an already-published work is very easy because there is no inventory of printed books to worry about. The process will make the book unavailable for a few days, but otherwise is costless.

A while back I noticed a small error on the cover of Casey Loves Trains (And Likes Mazes). I missed it when examining the proofs, but once I noticed it, it was obvious and annoying. I also had developed a few new maze fonts in the months after Casey Loves Trains was finished that would have worked well in the book. A small update seemed to be in order.

The result was that four pages were either completely changed or had completely different mazes on them, three pages had significant changes, and three had minor changes. Below is an illustration of one of the significant changes, with the "before" shown first.


Which one would be more fun for a small child? (These are not the actual mazes in the book, just an illustration of the design of the maze.)

The new, improved Casey Loves Trains (And Likes Mazes) is available from CreateSpace and Amazon.
