    Default Another book project

    In addition to my wife's photo book, I just completed my 6th paperback book project. This is the second book for this author who was a columnist for the Chicago Tribune.

    I used Georgia for the book text and SF Movie Poster for the cover text and chapter titles.

    Interestingly SF Movie Poster is a free font, but only for non-commercial use so I had to pay for a license so the font would embed properly in the document.

    The book was self published though KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing).

    Even though mwenz is always telling me there are better programs for publishing, I know Designer Pro and know how to kicking and screaming, get it to do what I need it to do. And my favorite feature is the tracking control which I use liberally to expand and contract the text to eliminate widows or expand a widow to two or three words.

    For the cover, I used a photo of the author which I processed in Prisma on my iPhone, saved then processed in Waterlogue, also on my iPhone.
