Woah no way! You should definitely check out this book then. AADL has a bunch of physical copies but cardholders can also download a PDF from the collection:

I love AADL. I am literally launching a podcast later this month about how much I love it. I will totally check it out!

Reminder to self. Come back and reread. Especially about the Press mentioned. I like the model described. I'm working on 2 books I'll be outlining on substack.....A Beginners Guide To Sign Language For Agencies Families And Other Groups and a unique Save The Monarch Butterflies Book.........thinking of doing a Kickstarter and just starting to try to find a proper publisher....

Those sound like great books! I should note, Fifth Avenue Press only accepts books by authors that live on Washtenaw County, Michigan, or books about Washtenaw County.

Fascinating! I’ve recently become enchanted by book designs… some of them are truly spectacular. This is lovely work ❤️

Quality nonfiction books are true multimedia art projects, and I love seeing behind the scenes!

Great work, Nathaniel! The print collab was tricky and could have gone sideways in a lot of ways, so I’m happy to see that it stayed true to the vision. Love it when a plan comes together!

Thanks Mike! It was definitely touch and go there, and it illustrates how USUALLY you should know specs like that before designing. But I’m glad it happened this way because if the book started with them, it probably wouldn’t have gotten the treatment it did.
