Black and White Squared; iPad Version Available
Just a quick update to my Blurb experiment. I’ve put out an iPad version (basically an epub file I think) and that is available from here:
http://store.blurb.com/ebooks/345008-black-and-white-squared
Cost: 99 cents
It isn’t in the Apple store yet.
Of course the pdf ebook version is and always will be free (from the url below).
Original Post
Over the last couple of days I’ve put together a book on Blurb. I have wanted to test the service for a while now, not so much for full blown books – that is pretty much covered – but for limited run, portfolio, brochure type stuff.
Anyway, while that is all very boring to anyone but me the next bit may be of interest. As part of the service they offer a PDF ebook version for a nominal charge so I got a copy and am making it available for free.
The book itself consists of eighty pages, all with one full size image and all images are square black and whites so some of the images may be familiar but not edited this way.
It can be downloaded from here

.If a really bad quality version appears in your browser that will be the preview version (nothing to do with me!) You will have to download the file. Go to the top left of the page and click on file then download. The download version is very good quality.
This is the first time that I’ve used Google docs to distribute a file so I’d really like to hear if it works OK. If you have any problems please leave a comment here and I’ll put the file on my own webspace.
By the way – if you need a really fast pdf viewer try this:

It had the book, a 21mb file ready for viewing instantly on my machine.

My wife's excellent blog.
I didn't download, but it looks fantastic in google docs Steve.
Thanks +Sam Weinstein appreciated :) – on my computer the preview version looked as if it only used about 4 shades of gray! the downloaded one looked a whole lot better.
Ahh, I'll give it a look downloaded then :)
+Sam Weinstein I just hope its worth it :)
:)
i just downloaded it and looked at it Steve. Looks equally fantastic. Maybe my google docs is just on steroids. beautiful work!
Thanks +Sam Weinstein maybe I have my browser/docs set up wrong – always a strong possibility ;)
My pleasure Steve. I really love the square format too btw :)
+Sam Weinstein I tried a landscape format first (for the book) and it just didn't seem right – square seemed a bit gimmicky but it really did work a lot better – at least in my opinion :)
