Ever since the earliest days of photography, most photographers have dreamt of having a book of their own work produced and published. Until recently, however, such dreams remained a fantasy for all but that tiny minority who could attract the attention of commercial publishers. Now, with the advent of digital printing technology, the cost of producing your own photobook can be less than the price of a packet of inkjet paper. Thanks to the internet, the costs and complications of disseminating the finished product have been dramatically reduced. Creating Digital Photobooks teaches you how you can use your desktop computer to design, print, advertise and distribute your own photobook without ever leaving the comfort of your home or office. Whether your aim is to promote your work, display it to other photographers, create a record of the results of a personal project or simply to entertain family and friends, the digital photobook offers a practical, economical means of producing a unique, high quality product of which you can be proud.
Tim Daly has been making hand-made books of his own photographs for over twenty-five years and is an enthusiastic evangelist for the new opportunities opened up by the combination of digital printing and online service providers. In this book he shows readers with no prior knowledge of graphic design, printing, publishing or even photography how, without using specialist design software, they can make a collection of their most prized images available in the most interactive, permanent and portable form possible - a book.
