The book is finished!
Jan. 19th, 2007 09:36 amSmall disappointment first: As I feared, the text block didn't go in quite right. When the book is closed, the front cover is slightly raised; when the book is open, there's some sort of torsion going on that skews the text block by about five degrees. Had this been the "real" one I'd be furious; since this is the trial one, I'm simply taking notes.
But overall, I'm really really pleased. It looks like a real book. It feels like a real book. It's attractive, comfortable to hold and to leaf through, and a successful "proof of concept." I'll use it for a few weeks, doing "usability testing" and figuring out what else I need to do differently for the next one.
Pictures to follow.
