I've now got the PDF down to 429 pages, by expanding the text area of the page a bit closer to the page number and the running title, and moving the page number down a little. I think we're still within the page limits they prescribe.

I've also fixed the drop-capital problem. The main fix was to uncomment the commented-out line-height: 1 setting.

So this is what remains to be done:

• Creating a title for the book, and reworking the title page.
• Rewriting the front matter, possibly eliminating the French version, and perhaps removing HT as review editor (I presume, since there are no reviews in the book, although she should definitely go in for proofing and editing).
• Getting a new ISBN number.
• Deciding whether we keep the current copyright declaration or rewrite it.
• Rewriting the introduction.
• Checking all the graphics in the articles to make sure they're placed appropriately. Articles with graphics:
  • Egholm
  • Gudmundsson
  • Lindqvist
  • Lunde
  • Smith

Other things to consider:

• Should we start page-numbering earlier in the volume? (It currently starts with the Introduction, but it could also appear on TOC and author information pages.)
• Should we keep the Keyword Index? Alternatively, do we want to create a proper index? (This involves some markup work, although Find should help with a lot of it.)
