Coming Soon! Paperback version of Happier Abroad Ebook!

[Winston]

Hi all,
I'm currently working on converting my ebook into paperback format through Amazon CreateSpace. It is more tedious than I thought as you have to format the pages to the exact trim size that you choose and the cover as well. Even at the largest trim size, 8 x 10, my ebook still comes out to around 669 pages, which is huge. I also had to insert page breaks at the beginning of each chapter so that it will start on a new page, like normal books are set up. So my grand ebook will now have a more professional look. Plus you gotta use mirrored margins when printing a book, which is the way you have to alternate the margins on both sides to reflect the spin and outer edge. I guess I'm learning something new with this.

Larry Elterman is helping to guide me through some of this.

I'm glad that Amazon CreateSpace also has preformatted templates for the book cover, or else it'd be a real pain in the ass to try to custom make a cover, front, back and spine, to match the trim size exactly. I don't have the experience or software to do that kind of thing.

I'll show you guys what I come up with later.

And I'll keep you updated when the paperback version of the ebook is ready.

Best,
Winston
