HeroGM Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 I'm flipping through these as well as a few comic trades I picked up from the Waco Library. Book Design made Simple is a run through of using Adobe Indesign to set up your books files. I'm only 2 chapters into it, still setting up InDesign. 480+ pages with a companion website. I would say it comes off as pretty complete, my only issue is that it relies heavily on InDesign. [$59.95 USD (OUCH)] Making Books is exactly that. From what tools to use to how to set up different types of stitching. I'd suggest this one if your diy'ing your rpg books from pdf. $35 at around 190 pages.

zslane Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 I've used Lulu.com many, many times when I wanted hardcopies of my PDFs. The quality is very high. BTW, I'm curious where you can buy Adobe InDesign for $59.95. AFAICT, it must be bought on their monthly (or annual) CC subscription basis.

HeroGM Posted December 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 Sighs. The book is $59.95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zslane Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 Oh! Gotcha. Wow, yeah, that's expensive for a book. I do see, however, that Amazon has it available for $40 right now, which is a little better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeroGM Posted December 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 After flipping through it more is the boonworth the buy? Yes, especially if you use InDesign a LOT. It's given me some clues how to set up some things for Prince PDF and HTMLBook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
