PRODUCTION IS RECEPTION (9): ON AL-MUTANABBI (1)

This is the most difficult proofreading I have ever had to do.


This is the most fun proofreading I have ever had to do. They say it starts with one word.


These images are of laser printed proofs for the colophon/info printed on the back of the Al-Mutanabbi broadsides. We wanted to put the information in English and Arabic, so we had to enlist some help from some friends. All of the Arabic handwriting on the sheets pictured above is corrections and/or brief lessons for me. Even in the simplest, most mundane parts of a project there are possibilities to learn fascinating things.
