Looks good. I like the quality of Blurb books, I am sure it looks great in person.

That be real nice. The cover is neat too as well as the back. I gotta mess with Blurb one day. I wish I could chuck over some funds for your book....just as soon as gasoline is at $1.95 again.

Are the pages all fuzzy and touchy feely like in the pictures too?

[traskblueribbon]

thanks gary! the image wrap hardcover has a really nice matte finish. I prefer it over blurbs other covers by far.

beck, no worries, I just like making them. if others pick one up its icing on the cake!
the pages have a paper texture that looks rather good in print, because you don't get a choice of papers I like to make it custom.

Looks great! Ordering now.. really have been wanting to see blurb v. lulu v. the other for P.O.D. quality..
how was the process of building and uploading? was it one giant pdf or a series of pages?
Sorry for all of the questions!

Good luck with it- love the title!
Cheers-

Self promotion is often all we get. Enjoy!

NIC: the process is rather easy. If you use their templates you can import photos into their software and send your book off. If you build your own template, as I did, you build the pages separately and import them into their software as full bleed photos. they have an auto flow so if you build all your pages and number the files correctly then they will all find their place without any real messing about.

I hear that Skorj.
