TexasLady Report post Posted December 13, 2010 (edited) 12/13/10 I've recently become interested in publishing a Children's Book that I've written. No, I'm not able to purchase a pretty leather binding for my books, but I just wanted to let you talented people know about a spot out there where you might want to offer your goods. I've found a site called www.CreateSpace.com. This site has a forum where folks ask questions about formating the books that they have written and that they will be self-publishing through CreateSpace.com. Most of them are just like us,... trying to make a few dollars doing something that they are good at and really enjoy. But, I believe that you might find an occassional customer who would like to have a beautiful, hand-tooled, bookcover, for example, in which to encase the book that they've written. Or a spouse might want to have 'one book' that their mate wrote 'done up all fancy' to give to the author as a gift. Another possibility would be to offer to do that 'photography on leather' that I've just now seen being talked about on this forum. Or, people might want a 'leather case' to contain a few volumes of the books that they've authored, especially if those books were of a uniform size. And, if they aren't of a uniform size, I'm sure that you'll figure out a way to make something attractive to hold different sizes of books together as a set. I haven't heard a single soul there asking for this, but I just wanted to come here and tell you about it, as a possibility, so that you can go register for that site and post your offer, appropriately done. You might start by asking the QUESTION if anyone knows of someone who custom makes leather book bindings. Please don't 'spam' them. They are very nice, tolerant, people. Be gentle. You'll be able to do a 'word search' on this site, so that, you can find out if there have been other visitors talking about leatherwork. And, of course, you'll be finding out how to publish your own book. Registering on the site is free. Also, you don't need to have written a book yet to register. If you have any problems, or if anyone complains, please come back here and tell us about it. - TexasLady Edited December 13, 2010 by TexasLady Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
