We're in the home stretch on *Slack For Dummies.* The near-final page proofs arrived yesterday.

To paraphrase George Costanza and at the risk of being immodest, [they're fabulous](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnF5BtQod-Q&ref=philsimon.com).

Here's the book at a glance:

If I had to guess, *Slack For Dummies* required the most work out of all of my books. Last December, I discovered that Slack was blowing up its UI. The [end product looks great](https://www.theverge.com/2020/3/18/21184865/slack-redesign-update-sidebar-changes-available-now-download?ref=philsimon.com), but the changes meant that I had to rewrite more than 50 percent of the book.

The effort was well worth it, though.

We're just a few weeks out now.
