I'm going to go back into the archives some over the next several days and try to re-read the threads about people interested in self- publishing: books, calendars, two sided, etc. Was wondering if it's been compiled somewhere yet? Best links on your searches are greatly appreciated. Thanks, Cleavis

I don't think that I've seen this on the list, but these workshops
might be useful. You can get more info at:

Just an FYI, after deciding to make a calendar for the holidays, and researching binding machines (which I have found are pretty expensive) I am going to go to Kinkos and have them Wire Bind it together. They said they can do up to an inch and a half and it seems to only cost a couple bucks. It seems like wire binding is a nice choice for photo books because the book will always lie flat. Yes it will have that "Journal" look about it but I kind of like that. Of course plastic binding is another option but I think the metal looks a bit sturdier. I don't know if there is a tremendous amount of interest in this type of book making but if anyone would like to start a group on the subject I would definitely join. I looked for groups but all I could find was really fancy Japanese type binding clubs, and to these people, wire binding is blasphemy... Jim

I know absolutely nothing about book making, but I have always been interested in it. If some one does start a list I would join also. Steve Jim Panzer wrote:

I would happily join such a discussion, but I'm not volunteering to start a group. I have a desktop wire binding machine I use for binding reports (my day job is architecture). It works well for binding books of photo prints of the kind Jim is talking about. Peter Marquis-Kyle

Hello list, well, I have decided to make a list dedicated to book and calendar making for photographers and other digital artist. Its description is as follows... "This group was started with the idea of sharing information on the creation of books and calendars used to show off digital prints. This idea came mostly out of the need to share photographic work with family and friends in the form of books or calendars. This is not a group dedicated to the art or craft of book making more then it is a group of photographers wanting a way to show off their work in a fairly inexpensive but clean, and non-complicated way. This forum is not affiliated with any commercial venture and is open to all." The address is, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Photographic_Book_and_Calendar_Making/ I am not sure what to expect as I have never created or moderated a group before, so if anyone has any tips, tricks or suggestions, please e-mail me. I left pretty much everything open to its members so we can upload samples or links we find about the subject. Thanks for all the help people on this site have given me on this subject. Jim P
