Well again another well titled book, it really does tell you how to design and produce your own book! Not only that but it does it in an inspiring and motivating way, by the time you’ve finished reading it you’ll be wanting to create a book, whether it’s a couple of pages which you bind yourself or a full on novel.
What I really liked was how the book explained how to do things in an enthusiastic ‘go try it’ way without sounding pushy, whilst still explaining how difficult some steps may be. It was nice that they gave other people examples and their own examples showed that they really have done it themselves and you feel like you’re really learning from their experience.
This is a great read for, whether you’re an artist wanting to make a portfolio or a wanna be author (or just interested, or maybe because one day you might want to!).
