In October, his month the publisher in Indonesia (Chapter 1)

In a moment is October. According to Bambang Trim, in October was during that was waited for by the publisher. Why? In the calculation of the standard of the publication of the public's book, the management of a text will take up time 45-60 days (in general 1.5 till 2 months) with three process times of the editorial plus the development (development editing). Therefore, books for the sale in January 2010 must has been finished in extension November-December 2009.

Was not easy to show publication creativity if not having the foundation of the love, the desire, and skills in the book world from his instigators. Then was not possible if not having the system that was conducive for one appreciation towards creativity. Therefore, the leaders of the publication business might not feel comfortable with the stagnant condition for creativity of the editors or felt had the power to determine publication steps in accordance with his intuition. Business intuition really needed creativity as his antennae and active people technically and in a non-technical manner in the world of the publication was his motivator.
