Hi everyone. I've had some demand to make a tutorial about how I put together my self-published book, Fervourography. So I have bowed to public demand and rotted away at my computer desk for a few days to present these two tutorials:

Eyespiral's Book Printing Tutorial, and
Eyespiral's Book Binding Tutorial

Be warned, before you commit to downloading them or clicking to see them full-view - they are enormous, i.e. 8.6Mb and 6Mb respectively, and long-winded. They do, however, present a comprehensive explanation of how to create you own A6 hardcover book. And, if you're curious, the cost I calculated for Fervourography turned out to be about $6 per book. Of course, this changes according to your materials and so on, but that's just a guide for you.

CutePDF can be downloaded here.

I hope you find these tutorials interesting and helpful, and not too huge on your internet connection.

I must say; God bless you for making this absolutely wonderful and greatly informative tutorial!

Ah, but I do have a slight question...for you see, I'm currently working on a doujin (self-publishing comic book fan work.) project and was wondering how you would set up full-page images for printing? (I am in possession of Word 2003.)

The pages themselves look much like this [link] (though I assure, the art has been improved from this stage.) and I wish to print them with little to no borders at all so that I'm able to visibly flesh out the drawings as much as possible but at the same time leaving enough room for binding.

What size and formatting options would you recommend for such a feat?

I'm honestly baffled that your deviation doesn't have more views! It's extremely helpful and unique.
I plan on publishing two sister books, and this tutorial along with the book binding one, will prove their worth really soon, so I must thank you for your help.
One question though: after you have your first book draft, do you edit it yourself or do you let someone else edit it for you?
Because I did so with my first draft, and it almost turned out to be a different book!
Any advice?

Love love love this tutorial!
You mention Publisher for people wanting to make an A5 book - Do you have a tutorial, or any advise, to someone trying to use Publisher and print an A5 book for the first time?
I'm publishing the biography for my late grandmothers older brother, so I can surprise him this christmas :-)

I perfer to publish with FastPencil. All you have to do it write youe book (or upload a PDF if you already have a complete manuscript), go through the publishing wizard, and they will all the printing and binding for you. Plus they have an online store you can sell your book at.

This will (hopefully) help me so much. Thank you! I have struggled for so long with methods on how to print a book. Thank you.

YES! This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for :la: There's enough about book binding, but this is the only good one I've found about printing the book out ^^

But I have to ask you a silly question; can I do the same, except instead of A6, I use A5? There isn't much that change, or what?
