Today I got my hands on the last of my SoFoBoMo books, the black-and-white one, and it was good. Of course, I noticed several things that could be improved in the layout, and some photographs looked weak compared to the others, but quality-wise the Blurp-printed book was as good as I could wish for.
I was using premium paper once again - which is well worth the little extra cost - and the delivery was fast from the Neatherlands: I got the shipment notification e-mail yesterday.
In fact, the photographs appeared better on the printed book than on the computer screen, as the dark tones seemed to open up a bit, not being so crowded together as on the screen. I guess this is the way it should be, not the other way around.
And here are all four of my SoFoBoMo books, in the hand(s) of eager readers:
Nice pages, just found them.
ReplyDeleteThe books look very nice, Juha.

Thinking about it, I'm sure you're creating a legacy for your children to enjoy, many years down the track.
ReplyDeleteBTW, it appears you have definitely settled on the square format.
@Art: Thanks!
ReplyDelete@Sven: I hope the books will be of interest for some time. They might even survive the demise of the digital image files.
And the square: yes, it indeed continues to interest, although there are topics which it is not appropriate.
