Hi Laurel,

I have no idea why my images and color turned out so well. I have struggled with, and abandoned, trying to calibrate my monitor, so I didn't have high hopes for the color I could expect. The color looked good on my screen ( although I have to say, a lot of times my screen color looks good but prints poorly.).

Blurb recommends you order one book before deciding whether it is correct in color, quality, and text. Then if you are happy, go ahead and publish it. I think I am very good at proofreading, but my earlier book was FILLED with errors. There are probably still mistakes in the current version. Although there is a spell check, everyone is responsible for their own misspellings, grammar faux-pas, etc. You are your own editorial staff.

Wow, Chris, thanks for this great information!

Just think if this had been available when we were kids! I would have spent all my time illustrating (and writing) books.

But, what fun, we can do it NOW!
