The Book

We're a ragtag group of professional designers, hobbyists and former art students who've teamed together to create a themed collection of illustrations. The initial thought has always been, in addition to brushing up on old skills, that we would all be striving toward a final, physical product. This end product? A book.

As this project is one of leisure, my goal is to keep costs low without sacrificing the quality of the final product. My solution: MyPublisher.com, a site that offers publishing services for single-copy, custom books.

While most of their examples are of photo or memory books, the creative freedom that their book maker software allows and their seemingly-always-available offers and deals are optimal for our project.

Additionally, their pre-defined specs allow us designers to focus on our illustrations rather than the infinite number of possibilities of printing. In the past I have purchased photo books through MyPublisher as gifts for friends and have been very pleased with the end result; but, to quote a great man, "... you don't have to take my word for it." The bloggers at "The Wily Hound" have an excellent post describing their experience with the service.

Enjoy!
