Re: Book Making 101

Robert - 


Last year I put together a small book of my street photographs.

The size is 4.75 x 7.75 - I made it that size so it would slip into my back pocket. I carry it 
around when I shoot on the street so when people ask me what I'm doing, I can just show 
em the book. It's a great ice-breaker for conversation.

I printed on Pictorico Dual Side paper using a Canon S9000 printer. Kind of a semi-gloss 
finish and 10 mils thick. 

Here's an online photo presentation of the book in flash format - check it out.  Looks nicer 
in real life - I suck at product photography.

I now have a 4800 printer, but since then I've been printing my books through Apple's 
iPhoto book software.  Much easier, cheaper, and less time consuming.  Makes it less 
painful for changing pix. I've done a half-dozen or so now and am pretty pleased - they're 
20-40 pages and perfect bound.

Hope this helps...
