Fascinating!
Wow! Looks as if a lot really goes into putting a book together. Thanks Carol for this insight.
Take Care,

Looks fun, but time consuming if you have a lot of books to bind.
I'm also wondering about the 4-signature blocks. I know how much trouble it is to get the pages to print correctly when they are folded in half. I did a chapbook that way a few years ago and I thought I would go nuts trying to get the pages to lay out right. Your thoughts or suggestions?
Yvonne,
I think the video instruction is for an 8.5 x 11 sheet. I don't know if there is a trick to using the 4 page layout sheets. I suppose I'll have to get back to you after I play on Google awhile!! LOL!
I can imagine this might actually work for artistic, coordinated people who only sell a few books at a time. It might even be cost-effective! One thing not considered in the video, however, is the production of a good cover!
Thanks Carol for this insight.
