BLURB BOOKS





The Making of My Blurb Book

For a large part of this semesters work I used a web site called Blurb Books, which is an online website where you can upload your images in 240ppi jpg format ( so printable quality), and create a book, either using one of their templates for the whole book, individual pages, or create your own page layout. Once you are completely satisfied with your creation, you save it and then publish the book. You choose softback or hardback and the size, with or without a dust jacket,and you also choose whether or not to let the book go public, which means that blurb will offer it for sale and you then receive a cut of the proceeds. You can also choose to keep it private so that you are the only person who can purchase it. You can order anything from 1 copy to hundreds and the price reduces according to the order quantity. The book is shipped to you within 2 weeks.
The copyright to the content remains with the author, and the copyright to the layout and systems for its creation remains with blurb.
Other such sites include Bobs books, which I didn't use because the book sizes needed to be larger than I wanted fro this project.
You can go to the Blurb website by following the link below.
