More Pictures of Book Number One

tweaking and changes

So I made a logo and title image I'm satisfied with for the time being. You can see this up at the top of the page. And I tossed some easy junk over on the right-hand column: a search bar, a survey, some ads, news about UFOs, etc.

It occurs to me that lots of people have written books they would like proprietary copies of. Kind of for the same reasons I do. If you're one of these people, let me know. Perhaps we can work out some kind of understanding.

Cheers.

I need a logo to put on the books I make, and something snazzy to put at the top of this page when I finally get around to messing with the html. Here's what I've got so far:

first book - finished!

So the first book has been finished. I spent all day yesterday flipping through the pages and twisting it and contorting it to check its durability. The results? It held up pretty well, losing no pages, no cracking. Just like a regular book.


And here's a cell phone pic I took of me shaking the book.

If all goes well tonight, I'll make another one when I get home. I'd like to have a copy of each of the books I've translated and written, so...5 books total.

the book in question...

In case you were wondering, the book being binded (bound) here is my very own translation of Haruki Murakami's Pinball, 1973. Cheers.
