AAAAAAH!! I forgot to deal with the spine. Oh well I guess I'll get what I get.

I've ordered my books. They look good on line. Anxious to see them in the physical realm.

I used Hoster songbook to make them from my Excell file I had been using for years. Because of this I believe, I had some formatting issues to deal with. I didn't get it perfect but I will before the next printing.

I almost PMed you to help me figure out the custom cover. I had problems getting my jpg in the size they require, but finally figured it out.

Thanks for the suggestion about laminating. I had planned on using packageing tape on the entire book, but laminate sheets sounds easier and better looking.

Overall I found their process/website extremely non-user friendly. I did a lot of hunting throughout the site to perform some of the different funtions like making changes to the book or my account. Things just don't seem to be layed out in a logical manner. Of course the possibility exists that it was just me - LOL

Here's links to my books.
