Construction

I did a test print of my book the other day just to see how thick it would actually be and if the sizing and flipping works. It was good because it let me see what I needed to fix up in terms of the layout aaand it also made me realize (from cutting each page with a ruler and an exacto) that I am going to need some sort of crazy guillotine or something, because even if I cut each page exactly with the crop marks it will not be precise enough to assure that they are EXACTLY the same size, and this is a necessity for optimum flipping. Guillotine anyone? (my book is about 1/2" thick so it needs to be a pretty sharp one)
