This is my very first photo book. I am really excited about it. Please let me know what you think about it. I have enjoyed looking at some of the other books and have learned so much for future books.
I'm just a little concerned about text over run after reading some other coments about it after the books have been received. I made sure that there were no red boxes but now I've heard that your actual book may still have cut off text. Hopefully not.

I thoroughly enjoyed your book since I've been to Paris several times.

You won't be able to tell about any text run over until your book is printed. I have never had any run over but as a rule, I leave one line space above and one below my text. I never fill the box completely so have never had that problem. I also use a smallish font because the large fonts seem to over-power the page. For example I would use a 10 or at maximum 12 point font. On special pages like your Eiffle Tower page which looks like it was created in Photoshop, any size you want works. I also tend to "bold" my text so it is easier to read if I use a black background and especially on the Advanced Cover. Fine fonts do not print too well so they have limited use for me. Probably the first page with the credits would be where I would use them on a white page. I found that text pages printed on black are very hard to read.

I do have a question. What font did you use on the "Paris Seen From The Eiffel Tower" picture? It looks like a Disney font and I would love to use it.

Thanks for sharing. Happy 25th Anniversary.
