When is a PDH book due?

[marinschild]

I was wondering when a Pastel Defender book would be out for sale. I would love to have it sitting next to my copy of Unicorn Jelly (which I truly love with my entire being).

I am trying to get Stephen to help... I cannot do it alone. He knows how to use the software, and how to make it work on Lulu. It's a little beyond me. But he is having a hard time at work right now, so... it may take a bit. But there will be a book, if it is possible to do.

Yay, I got a reply from leader. I would love for there to be a Pastel Defender book, and I'll wait however long it takes.

I do hope that things do get better for Stephen's work situation. I'll be wishing both of you the best.

..did somebody call an impositionist?

I do have Adobe Indesign, but I'm not sure about the time. Not because of work (still part time ), but because I'm getting married in September (.. yeah I've been away for a while )

Then again, I do desperately need to fill my portfolio with something substantial. And just plain do something with my degree-I-haven't-even-framed. I just don't want to be a jackass and cop out on you guys if things are busy. I can certainly try to help.

How far is the project?

Hi, just my opinions about the PDH book.
Well, what I think is that is more important to get a good software for creating a high resolution PDF.
And it must handle a lot over 200 pages with 300dpi in CMYK colour.
Lulu.com needs PDF's.
I believe that there is no other way that PDH has to be split in 2 or better even more parts.
I really would think it twice if I had to pay over 50 Euro or more for a (wonderfull) comic book.
Don't forget, for each comic page there's a footnote, and some of it are huge, I fear it could get more than 400 pages with all the related stuff. The UJ-book was also made like this.
Hm, 3 or 4 parts maybe would cost together the same, or more, but I know I could buy it when I'm able to pay for it, even if it would need a year to collect all the parts/volumes.
If it is a success, then they can think about a "premium edition".

One thing I'd notice inside the UJ book was, that some parts of the comics weren't sharp, like a low resolution picture, that wasn't in the old first print.
What did go wrong is a miracle for me, because the rest of the book had a real good quality.
Did they simply used the graphics directly from the website, by mis-"take"? Could be an explanation.

(Stephen should still have the QuarXpress 5.1, I sended it to him a year ago, because I have now the german version of it.)
