Creating Custom Books for the Holidays

Creating Custom Books for the Holidays?
Blurb's Book Making Boot Camp Makes It Easy!

(sponsored post) - here are some examples from  fellow artists:

It could be just me, but I think it's much easier to learn how to do something by watching a video (even if it's a short one). For instance, making your own custom book seems like it would be really complicated, but then you watch a video walking you through it and it becomes pretty understandable. Here's a quick video from Blurb (less than 3 minutes) that quickly walks you through publishing your own book using their BookSmart tool — sort of a book making boot camp. Save 20% on photobooks which is great news if you're thinking ahead to the holidays and making a gift to send. Special offer for new customers only. Save 25% on photobooks… even better for those of you who are new to Blurb books. Just don't wait because these deals end October 31st.

BLURB GIFT IDEAS

Create Something One Of A Kind with Blurb


People love getting really creative, one-of-a-kind books for Christmas. Books that elicit a “where did you find this?” response. As the leading indie- and self-publishing platform, Blurb has an entire online bookstore full of unique books by an incredible array of undiscovered, self-published authors, artists, and photographers. And while these books probably aren’t in your recipient’s bookshelf, many of them should be. So, if you’re thinking of giving unique gifts this year, consider these titles.

Example - here is a timeless classic
