I have just been enlisted in a project to write a book documenting the last 40
years of work of the organization for which I used to work. So I dug into the
back corner of my storage locker and retrieved five boxes of personal books,
files, reports, etc. that I had packed up on my retirement 3.5
One of the best bits of enablement I've received recently was a slim
book by Neil van Niekerk, Direction & Quality of Light: Your Key to
Better Portrait Photography Anywhere.
What makes this book unique and so much more useful than hundreds of
gear-oriented books is that it starts from the positio
I've followed the links and learned some quite interesting stuff.
Thanks for letting us know, Igor.

Question is, would it be best to write the stories in MS word or
Apples version of word, THEN cut and paste the text and photos, or
just type away on Blurbs software.

then the file was uploaded
to lulu... there was a funciton there to turn it into a PDF file for
publication
I think it worked really well
The print quality of SIGNS GONE BY was not as good as the other tw

all the formating in the blurb template. I write for numerous

Hi All.
Over the years, with many tales and stories told in the survey lunch
rooms around the world, it has been suggested by more than one person,
that i should sit down and write a book about how land surveying has
changed from when i started, 1973 to when i was asked to retire, 2007.

I have made several books using iPhoto and been satisfied with the
quality. It's not the finest, but quite good enough for a lot of
work. I would suggest doing a test first, with photos similar to what
you are going to put in the finish version, to learn what is needed
to make the kind of q
Igor I too was looking into doing a book for my daughter. If you go to
Apple's website, under support and then discussions, there is a lot of
information on the books. Most people are very impressed with them.
But, i think they have to be done carefully to achieve top-notch
results.

Back, oh, I don't know, six to eight months ago or longer, when we were
having a list "discussion" about B&W v.s. color, someone, Herb I think, mentioned
that Ansel Adams also did color. Which was news to me. And that he thought his
