I was expecting it to somewhat look like it was printed on a laser printer, but it does not. The pictures are clear and colorful, and the dust jacket is glossier than I expected (glossy is good).<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The book, on the whole, is a bit stiff. I suppose that would be the result of the premium paper that I chose, which is thicker. Since this will mainly stay untouched on my book shelf, the stiffness really is not a problem.<\/p>\n<p>The binding is a bit odd, though. The pages are not stitched to a piece of cloth like most books. Instead, they are simply inserted flush against the inside of the spine. Looking closer at the binding inside the pages, I think they may be lightly stitched together. There might also be glue there, but I&#8217;m not totally sure.<\/p>\n<p>While there may be a few things odd about the book, there really are no flaws. After all, this is a print-on-demand book, which requires different assembly techniques to meet demands and keep costs down.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t think I will release this to the public at this time mainly because it&#8217;s so expensive. I bought an 8&#215;10 hardback book (108 pages) with premium paper and a dust cover. With tax and shipping, it cost me over $62 on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blurb.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Blurb<\/span><\/a>. Yikes! But, considering that I now own my very own book, I think it&#8217;s worth the cost. When I work on <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Book Two<\/span>, I&#8217;ll wait for a coupon to use.<\/p>\n<p>The thing I like about <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Blurb<\/span> is their book-making software. There are many template pages to choose from, so it&#8217;s very easy to create a professional-looking book. The program has a few glitches that are annoying, but that just meant that I had to constantly double-check everything. That turned out to be a good thing, since <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Blurb<\/span> does not reprint or refund books if I make an error.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, my hardback book came in today, and it&#8217;s really nice.
