Jerry Smith gave us an excellent overview on producing a book. He brought his publication on “Rafting the Grand Canyon” and it is a very impressive book, a 12 X 16 hard cover volume worthy of anyone’s coffee table! All you need to get started is your photos, text and book publishing software. He used Blurb, which he recommends, but there are others available, all as free downloads. The Blurb program takes you through the process step by step and makes it look very easy. But it is time consuming to do the sorting and organizing of the pictures, writing the text and setting up the pages. The end result makes it all worthwhile.

Special thank you to Bill and Marilyn Grange for the photo and write up this week while I was absent.

P.S. Cute photo of the back of Peggy's head. At first I was going to crop it out but then decided it was cute.
