Design Inspiration
///////////////////////////////
Many times an author may wish to include a large format map, photo, document, or other element that doesn't fit well into the chosen book format size. With an 8.5x11" book, depending on the item, a double page spread may provide a bit more space for these items. Sometimes the double page spread works and other times it still may not provide enough space to do the item justice. In addition to including it via QR code or in some other electronic format, consider including it large format. Depending on your budget, this can be a folded item loose inside the cover, placed in an enclosure, or bound directly into the spine.

Book Manufacturing Concepts
///////////////////////////////
Brown ink on cream/ivory paper is an economical alternative to using parchment for medium to large publications - for ultra short publication, or black on cream/ivory is a great choice as it economically reproduces better than textured/parchment paper.

Genealogy ideas
///////////////////////////////
Is your research style “direct decent”? If so, in areas of
difficulty, don’t forget to gather all information available on all family
members – even those without children (issue). There may be clues – or even
actual information you seek – in records, newspaper items, etc. for siblings,
aunts, etc.
