Source to edition

Semantic Markdown in. Deliberate pages out.

The source establishes parts and chapters. The selected recipe resolves trim, margins, front matter, table handling, hyphenation, running heads, and page rhythm without rewriting the manuscript.

The tablet is small enough to hold in two hands.

Rendered-page proof

What this proof establishes

Evidence with explicit limits.

This case study demonstrates one long-form, table-bearing history manuscript. It does not guarantee acceptance by every printer or retailer, replace the author's final proof review, or establish equivalent results for every genre and manuscript condition. Kindle Previewer remains a manual release check.

Selected-page PDF

Inspect the edition directly.

The embedded proof contains nine selected pages from the validated 209-page build. Every page retains the same 6x9 portrait trim.
