I still haven't found anyone to format the PDF and book cover into the Ingram Spark templates. You need to do it on Adobe Acrobat or InDesign or Photoshop. No one here seems able to do it.

¿Do you know any of your author friends who use Ingram for their book sales who could recommend someone to me? I received the proofs from Amazon today, and they just don't make the grade.

Those two comments are his exact words.
It's for an art book, with written word paragraphs probably every other page, if I recall his style correctly. But the art is the key.

mephron, you have a full Acrobat, don't you?

Pretty sure this is the book he's trying to take to physical book form.ARABIAN NIGHTS ILLUSTRATED 1800-1950: BOOKS FROM THE...

He has at least 6 other smaller books that I'm betting he'd want the same treatment on if he finds an arrangement that works out well.

Best I can offer is to scour Fivver for a formatter.

I have Acrobat and Photoshop, and I think I have inDesign

I'd have to look up a tutorial on spark templates though

Viksbelle: He was hoping I might have a personal reference before he took it to strangers, but he knows Fivver is an option.

ChickletLARP: What format file would you need to work with? I have all his stuff in PDF form. I could send you one of the shorter art books in PDF if it helps you practice/experiment.

That would be fine, and I can work with PDFs I presume. I will try to look up the tutorials as soon as I have control over the living room, so like mext nime mum goes into her room for a bit.

ChickletLARP: Fair enough! Just let me know what you think after you check those out.

Okay, you need my email address to send it?

Once I do?

Sorry, by brain is just not focusing on anything productive today. I did ask someone who does self publishing for advice though, I will poke at tutorials tomorrow

I’ve worked with these things before for my own book, so I’d be willing to take a crack at it? But I see ChickletLARP is first in line so i’ll sit back.

Thanks to you both! ChickletLARP, yes, if I have your email addy, I'll send you a pdf to take a stab at. mephron - thank you and stand by!

If Rejen knows what they are doing, I would not be offended at all if you go with them rather than rolling the dice on someone who would be trying for the first time

Just let me know. (I just woke up)

Good morning, sleepyhead. Let me poke mephron - my gmail is [email protected]. If you send me a Hello there, I can send you a PDF to try out.

And now I am heading to bed, lol
