It’s the end of the semester, which means it’s about time for a new group of student book projects. My students download the text file for a public domain book from Project Gutenberg, then design and typeset the whole things using Adobe InDesign. This semester I’m expecting more classic books than ever. Pellissippi’s library is planning to use the best projects for e-books, and to print copies to add to the collection. Union Printers have donated a poster proof. I’ll be adding new titles to the download page as I get time.
Students ordering hard copies of their book need to go to the lulu help center. Our books will be 6 x 9″ paperbacks. First, get a page count by adding all sections together, then use the cost calculator to figure the cost, next use the spine width calculator to figure how wide your spine should be (we designed them at a 1″ default.) Finally, adjust your cover layout, upload your PDF files, and order your book.
