another question

hi
i have question!

do we include an imprint page?
do we do the whole copy right information and such?
i know us designers like to include the colophon, but how do we talk about the publishing information if it's not being..published?

maybe these are silly questions, but let me know!

printer

This is the printer that I found in Markham.
They have Perfector Printing which prints double sided pages in register.
(Marek was saying how his pages got white lines. With this, you won't get that.)
Picked up this book today. A better description is that it's actually 16 books in one. Each with a different cover, which can all be flipped. The die cuts? Insane. Extremely well done - after all, look who designed it. I'll bring it into class tomorrow. And yes, its 5:42am.

Making a Book...

"Making a book is like making a child: nothing unusual or special. People do it every day. Yet it can make your skull and bones glow like a light globe, cause the earth to lurch and sag beneath your feet, bring you nose to nose with the universe, and fuse your mind and body so it seems as if they'll never come unglued."
-Robert Bringhurst

due date

hello

i am not quite sure when the final book is due.
what day do we need to hand it in to you by?

thanks!

(happy book designing, everyone!)
