May 2, 2008 (FPRC) -- ‘Goalden Girl’, published by Lulu.com in December 2007, has been selling well through online retailers, but there have been reports of the chapter headings coming out pale and, in some cases, they’re barely visible.
This has been due to the chapter headings being typed in bold font with an outline effect; it seems the distribution printers have had difficulty picking up the outline, although Lulu’s printers have had no difficulty at all; so the outline has been dropped, and the headings should now come out in pure bold, without the need to use a magnifying glass!
However, it may take some weeks for the new copies to come into circulation, so if readers buy the book from online retailers like Amazon or Waterstones in the meantime, they may get copies with the pale headings, for which the author apologises in advance! Copies bought through Lulu.com should have the amended bold font.
Meanwhile, the printing fault does not seem to have affected readers’ enjoyment of the story. ‘Goalden Girl’ has received some favourable reviews:
‘This is an interesting storyline. It is a good read for all ages. I well recommend it and look forward to the author's next book’ (Amazon.co.uk)
‘My youngest daughter really enjoyed the book throughout. An easy to read book with an interesting storyline. I Wish I knew who said girls couldn't play football - my daughter is living the dream since finishing the book -Well done to Tracey Morait - we await your next offering ..’ (Amazon.co.uk)
‘Wasn't sure about a Goth playing football but once you get into the book it doesn't matter. The characters are believable and so is the story. I really enjoyed reading it!’ (Amazon.co.uk)
‘This is a really good read with lots going on…’ (Barnes and Noble)
‘Tracey Morait's Goalden Girl is a wholesome action story for young people about problems teenagers sometimes have to face and the therapeutic effect of intramural sports’ (BookIdeas.com)
