    @Aegopodium Před 4 lety

    I simply cut paper to the width of the signature and put 4 pages on one page. I have 2 pages on my monitor, side by side. So it's really easy to insert the gfx. My books are only 1" wide though. In this size you will need a laser printer to be able to read the text. The endpapers are OK on a inkjet printer.

    @kathrynlidstone8771 Před 2 lety +1

    Very interested in taking the class! Would I be able to figure out how to make books in 1:12 scale after this class, or is this very specific to this size?

    • @NiktheBooksmith
      @NiktheBooksmith  Před 2 lety +2

      Hi Kathryn! This class teaches a specific size. I suppose someone who has decent math skills could size down the instructions to 1 :12 scale but I'd think there would probably be other tweaking needed along the way.
