Design Inspiration
///////////////////////////////
Lots of books that have dust jackets are rather plain underneath with a binding band along the spine. One way to have this band and still save money is to forgo the dust covers in favor of a 4-color cover. The spine can still have the same banded look along with most, if not all, of your original dust cover layout thoughts.

Stuck at a roadblock and just sure your information isn't online? If you try different search strategies, you may "get lucky". Especially if researching an ethnicity, consider adding or substituting the "foreign" word for English such as the Dutch word for birth or born if looking for a Dutch birth record.
