...and wont be my last! This is a book about my Great-Grandfather. He lived 93 years, 3 children, 9 grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren, and 4 great-great-grandchildren were all blessed to know him. Would love feedback.

I enjoyed looking at your book on your grandfather. You did a pretty good job of bleeding an image across the gutter. I'm always looking for people's ideas on this. Would you mind telling me what formula you used, or what measurements you allowed for the gutter?
Thanks

Thanks. I made all my pages in PS on a 22.5x8.75. I then uploaded each page twice...using the hand tool I moved the photos till they lined up. Would there be anyother way of doing this? This was the only way I found.

A mechanical engineer by the name of Robin has come up with a formula for doing a two page spread (http://theartofengineering.wordpress.com/2008/01/23/want-to-make-a-blurb-book/). I have used her formula a couple of times, and it works quite well.
Thanks for your reply to my post. Hope you continue to have fun making books.

Here is the URL for a book I recently did on ancestors on mine and my wife's families. We had a lot of fun doing the book. Ones like yours on your grandfather, and our book, are a great way for future generations to get a better idea of who they are, and where they came from.
