This is a Niece

The Schultz family aren't known for producing girls. Adelaide is the only girl schultz of her generation so far, and Andrew has only one girl cousin. His parent's generation doesn't include any girls. So for Christmas this year, Andrew decided to make a "niece instruction" book for his brothers.



Andrew provided the text and desktop publishing, and I bound the books. We had the pages printed at a local place, at $1 a page. They printed it on slightly heavier paper than normal office paper, so the pages have a very nice feel.



The visible stitching is decorative, not functional. The pages and back cover are properly bound, and the front page was put on last and stitched with what is visible now, giving it a "handmade" but neat look. I haven't done binding exactly like this before, but I do really like it.




I hope that there were no terrible grammatical or spelling errors in our pretty books!

  1. I want to flick through ALL the pages!!!! Looks like a good chuckle. Nice work and great idea. Ha ha. You've probably done alright eliminating the errors. I've been reading the Twilight series and I'm surprised at how many errors I've come across!
