Wow! Can you say hard work and technical difficulties. There is one great lesson I learned from preparing this book, don’t use Baruch printers and make sure you have different options of companies to print from.
The concept of my book was to create a poem book based on Haiku poetry. And each poem that was chosen would allow the readers to interpret the poems freely and as they like. The poems required to have an image as their background. My book is based on 15 pages front and back. Images were used as the main background of the poems, but colors for the fonts and other page backgrounds as well. I used brown as the overall book color and white with black for the font.
When it comes to deciding on the binding style, be prepared. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE! I definitely learned that. With practice comes better work. I am happy about the Design I chose for the book, although more emphasis will be have to be placed on the binding of it. I went along with a Japanese Stitch binding.
You can contact me via this blog or email directly at [email protected]–if you are interested in my book. I plan to revise my book and send to blurb. I would like to have a better quality book copy for myself. And others are invited to purchase the book.
