I suppose there's self publishing and self publishing ie doing it oneself
without the help of skilled print person -trying it myself learning(hit and
miss) and every cover could be different -but I have not yet learnt that
picture thingy
P self self publishing P small presser P
Have even got my long arm stapler eventually to work -now all those yummy
possibilities for covers -fancied upside pages from phone book -wrappers
-wallpapers -still my printing machine is tetchy about what it deigns to
print-and a thousand ?? other probs like getting the page numbers to roughly
line up (though is that really necessary -could leave them out perhaps -I
fancy sewing some books maybe cover a book in black catfur VB??
