My seventh book
Not the seventh book I have bound. No i have been bookbinding for may years and made hundreds of books.
No this is the seventh book I wrote. This is version 0.3. Version 0.1 was the written one. Version 0.2 the one with spellings check. V0.3 had one proof read.
I hate proof reading on a computer screen so I printed it and hand bound it.
Cover made with Office. Is preliminary. Just because I needed something. I am designing the real cover now.
Spine made with heat transfer pen.
Spine glued with hollow back to cover.
Layout formatting done by me.
Printed on an Epson Ecotank ET-2814
Next steps:
- Proof reading
- Editing
- Proof reading
- Editing
- Designing of the cover
- Getting an ISBN (for the Dutch version)
- Sending to publisher
This is being printed and distributed by Dutch company Pumbo
And then translating in English.
Again proof reading, proof reading, proof reading.
Then getting another ISBN (for the English version) and sending to Lulu which is my international distributor.
I am doing everything myself so I do not need a publisher. No further investment from me as it is all done by Publishing on demand.
This is the seventh book I have done this way.
