Black and White Squared
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.

Thanks Jon – the ebook really was an unintended consequence but I was pleased with the way it worked out. +Jon Matthies

+Jon Matthies A lot more words in that one :) It was/is a fun project – currently with the publishers and I am waiting to see if any rewrites or extra work is required.

I've liked a lot of the Rocky Nook book's I've seen… even bought a couple. :)

Me too – they are a specialist photography publisher and are incredibly responsive and into the subject. Good people to work with.

Love it!! smiled when I scrolled past a few of your game plays : ) I do enjoy the square format, often try to make mine work in that confined box, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't .+Steve Johnson

Thanks +Jules Falk Hunter I've only got into square format over the last couple of years and there is just something about it that I really like.
