Description
My very first self-publication. Beautiful, don't you think? I followed some book binding instructions from a papercrafts book I have, then went through hell trying to print out the pages of my work that I wanted in the correct order. MS word is not friendly for A6 when you are using sections!
Anyway, I am quite proud of myself. It's 60 pages of short stories and poetry from the past few years. Perhaps after I write my final essay for this semester (which I have totally been procrastinating by making this) I will put together a handful of them to sell on etsy. Hmm...
Anyway, the cover is made with mountable foam core (so it's really light) covered in velvet damask paper that I simply couldn't resist. Three signatures of folded A5 printed both sides and hand-stitched into the spine before covering.
EDIT:
I am in business! After much arduous work and a little help from my darling ~ebbenjay, Fervourography is now available for purchase at my etsy store. Please stop by and take a look at my brocade edition, too; it's pretty.
EDIT:
I have just made two tutorials so that you can make your own self-published hardcover. Check them out!

Congrats! My dad just told me about Etsy. It sounds pretty cool. I just want to give you another suggestion: check out lulu.com. It's a totally free site that will publish your book and for a not high price (well of course you have to pay to buy the book), and you can get an ISBN to put it on Amazing, etc. Hope this helps.
