Everyone has been interested in seeing A New Perspective, but eventually my dad's birthday rolled around, so I no longer have it. Since it's really nice to have it around to show people, I decided to revise it a bit and republish it....
Last week I put together a Blurb book with some of my photos for my dad's birthday. It only took about half an hour, most of which was spent in deciding which pictures to use. And it arrived yesterday afternoon. :)...
My mom wanted me to finish up my new edition of Adventures in Thailand (my mission letters home -- the ones I wrote for public consumption, which you can read right now at Blank Slate), so I decided to finish it up today. I hadn't realized it was ...
I've been rather busy with school, but if I can keep on top of my homework, Riverglen Press work should continue to go forward. In theory. :) So, my two projects right now are Grimm's Hausmärchen (as I've mentioned a few times) and Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice (which I ...

I'm pleased to announce that Dickens' A Christmas Carol is now available for download and purchase: I'll try to finish up Phantastes soon, and I'm also going to try to redesign the site (and add an RSS feed) before ...
I was reading Cool Tools today and came across an article on Blurb and Lulu. Blurb sounds really neat, and it's much cheaper than iPhoto (and the quality is apparently better than Lulu for color). I ordered How to Make a Book from them, since it's ...
I'm thinking about making Riverglen Press a PDF-only gig. Lulu's good, to be sure, but I like having more control over the output -- with Lulu my choices are quite limited, and it's hard to get the desired result. (Mainly with the covers; the body has generally been ...
