After about 4-5 months work, these books will be ordered tomorrow from Blurb! I've ordered several tests of various aspects of the books the company creates, allowing me to gain a better understanding of what I need to do to get the most out of the service. One such book was the 'Art of Aion' book posted a few posts below.
These books all tell the same story, but in different ways. Centre-stage is the photobook, which also includes an abridged version of the journal text alongside 440 pages of photos! Then there is the story book, which covers the entire journey in detail, and is also accompanied by a few photos. The last book is a plain text book printed in black & white, and is the entire story, including more thoughts on different subjects and more ramblings on.
Hardback Image-wrapped, Standard Semi-Matte Photo Paper, Full Colour printing.
Hardback, Bleach-white Standard Paper, Full Colour printing.
Softback, Black & White printing, Economy Cream Paper.
Hopefully everything goes well and they all come out just as expected! When they truly are finalized, they will be posted up here as interactive .SWF books. I have not decided yet if I will try to sell the photobook through Blurb though.
