Wow, I'm very interested in finding out more. I have heard all the talk about printing a coffee table book and was thinking it would be a great way to do an album of my childhood. That way a book could be printed for my brother and parents as well. I checked out the fastback site and it looks great, but yes a little intimidating. I saved your directions Jill for creating a PDF for future use. Thanks. Can anyone answer these other questions for me?
1. What is the actual cost of the book, I saw $38 but that doesn't include a cover? and that said 20 pages but they suggest you do 36 at least? Is this right?
2. What is the cost of a second publication, I saw it was a reduced cost, but no amount was given?
3. Do you get them printed on both sides of the paper and is the paper too thin? (Can you see the other side through it?)
4. Do you have to do a bleed if you do 10x10? I saw they suggested it for 8 1/2 by 8 1/2 and for 8 1/2 by 11.
5. Final question (I think) They say they want tiffs but if you do your own design work to send a PDF. I've got the directions for doing this, but do you have to create your pages and save them as tiffs first, then put them together into one document? I've always saved everything and printed everything as JPEGS so I was just curious about this.

Thanks for any info anyone wants to pass on.
