the Author’s Proof, additional copies will be generated and
corrected at the AUTHOR's expense at the PUBLISHER’s text-block rate
currently in effect, but not less than $35 per hour, in one-hour increments
with a minimum of one hour charged. In addition, if the AUTHOR requests
interior corrections or changes after the generation of the Advance Copy (see

is subject to change based on the printer rate currently in effect.

Changes will be billed at the PUBLISHER’s cover rate charge
currently in effect, but not less than $250 per consultation plus $200 per
hour, in one-hour increments with a minimum of one hour charged. In
addition, if cover changes are requested after the generation of the Advance
Copy (see below), a minimum fee of $90 per cover re-submission will be
charged to recoup fees charged by the printer for post-submission revisions.
This fee is subject to change based on the printer rates currently in effect.
D. The "Advance Copy" is the copy provided by the printer to PUBLISHER for
final review so that PUBLISHER can insure that the production copies will
meet standards. All efforts need to be made by AUTHOR to finalize the
content of the WORK prior to submission of the WORK to the printer. The
Advance Copy is intended for PUBLISHER's internal review and as a final
opportunity for AUTHOR to made pre-production changes. If AUTHOR desires
additional changes to the WORK that were not determined prior to submission of
the manuscript to the printer, changes will be made at AUTHOR's expense.
Changes will be billed at the PUBLISHER’S interior text block rate currently in
effect AND/OR the PUBLISHER’s cover rate currently in effect, as above. A
