Few questions regarding personal printing
Posted: Tue Jul 26, 2016 2:22 pm
Hi everyone. I am new on this forum, and I'd like to ask a few things.
I'd like to get a physical copy of FO : E and as the latest printing was some time ago already and third printing isnt planned (yet ?) I'm left with the only option of printing it myself. And as the costs can be quite big I may combine with some other friends interested aswell and thus reduce the price per book.
-So first of all : am I allowed to do so ? I do not plan to sell the books nor to publish them in my name (or at all), it is just for my personal use (and my friend's) so I guess it is fine, but just to be sure.
-What are the book specs ? I know from the FAQ that it is in 16x24cm, but I'm not sure about all the rest, and as I'm new to printing books and stuff I am a bit confused :
*type of paper ? Offset 90g / ivory / white / 100g ?
*cover ? 250/300g ? Bright/dull (may have mistranslated here)
-Are the version19 PDFs complete ? Or is there any news on the 2nd printing PDFs ? (2 books instead of 5 may cost less)
-where can I find the covers if there are specific ones (unless only dust jackets have a design) ? And how to include them ?
And finaly do you have any website or company to advice me (I live in France) ? I think lulu.com is not a choice to make if I understood correctly. Should I know anything else before going ahead ?
Thanks for your answers and advices
