Just wanted to post a quick message to the list here to say that I got
my first book in the mail today! Actually, I think I would have gotten
it on Tuesday except there was a holiday and then the UPS guy came on
wednesday when I was at work.
The book looks awesome, much better and much higher quality then I was
expecting. I've seen books before that were self-published and
print-on-demand that were of very low quality, and this is not one of
them. It's a good weight paper, good printing and typesetting, nice
cover, etc. It's going to be so much more awesome when we get
customizable cover images and ISBN numbers, but that can wait.
The book dimensions are a little smaller then I expected (I didn't
pull out a ruler or anything beforehand), but it's not too too small
by any stretch. I wonder if we could have the option to have a larger
book size (8x11 or something)? That would help for books with more
content, to help keep them under the 800-page limit by increasing the
amount of "stuff" per page.
Anyway, I'm still at work so I can't give it a complete review now.
However, it's very awesome! I'll post more feedback tonight when I get
the chance.
