Book Design - Steam


After many hissy fits and several threats to give up entirely I finally finished my book.
PHEW. Am I ever glad that ordeal is over.

I wrote the entire manuscript. Something I never want to do again. I'll be quite happy letting actual authors do the dirty work from now on.

It's got a faux-leather cover, red endpapers, a red ribbon, several stamps (that alternate between gold stamped or blind stamped) on the cover and spine, and a red bellyband (with another gold stamp). You wish you had one of these. They're actually kind of snuggly, if I book can be snuggly.

I won't go into all the drama of the making of this monster.
Needless to say it caused much undue stress and plenty of sleepless nights.
