Bookbulder’s Almanac: Volume One, Lightning Source (IngramSpark) edition

I created Bookbuilder’s Almanac to answer my own questions about the digital print capabilities: Do the old rules from print apply in digital printing? Why do some typefaces look so terrible? Which typefaces, tints, and resolutions give the best results?  Now you can find out the answers yourself when you order a copy.

Volume One is printed through Lightning Source (IngramSpark) on white paper with gloss cover.

Volume One on sale on Amazon.
