DISCLAIMER

Recently it's been brought to my attention that a few people sell this book with little to no modification, this only harms their customers who are ripped off. Unfortunately this has prompted a change in the disclaimer:

This book may not be sold under ANY circumstances without explicitly receiving my permission to do so. Reasonable modifications of the book, including contents, will be considered in my decision. This change is to protect SL consumers from the deceptive business practices of people trying to make easy money by selling freebies.

Otherwise the book may be copied, modified, or given away as you see fit. Since it is free, I offer NO GUARANTEE that it will work, I hope it does =P While you may certainly ask questions, comment, make suggestions, point out bugs - there's no official support for this product.


*******************************************************

Thank you for supporting my products, and I hope they prove useful and of good value to you. Enjoy =) Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have.

Thanks also to Viktor Zagoskin for his free, open source color menu scripts which make a project like this much faster to create =P

Good product for the serious book/editorial designers, too

Though I needed to spend bit of time to check how this book work, basically it's very simple to use.

What impressed me a lot is the book size selection of this product. The explanation is just saying you can change book size from its control panel. However, actually you can chose the book sizes from square, A, B, C-sizes, demy, crown, and royal crown. B and C-sizes might not be so popular (from my point of view), but this is very professional and helpful.

This product is a very user-friendly product to create not only a simple scrap book but also to create a professionally designed book.

I wanted to organize some photos I took with my partner to present to him as a gift and this was perfect. An easy to follow low cost way to show your creativity. I love it! Once I'm done I know my partner will enjoy his surprise. Thank you for giving away such a fine product.

good but bad
full star full star full star full star empty star Posted December 18, 2010 by Ellie Mordly

this is really nice, but if your designing other textures, like for a magazine, it wont show photos that are not full permissions, and that a problem especially when ur using the textures of a magazine cuz people be able to just rip it open and take everything u worked so hard on

this book should at least so like no copy or no trans photos :) to prevent theft
