Digital print

I met with Peter Randell from The Digital Press to discuss the printing of my book on Friday 23rd. I explained that due to having 5 spreads consisting of text only, I didn't really want to perfect bind my book as some of the characters would get lost in the gutter.

He proposed that I stitch the book giving a "cleaner" look and improving legibility. I'm not sure if it is the look I'm after, but I think it might be the best option, most in keeping with the design of the book.

He provided me with a quote (below) and I'm going to have a chat with Kit on Monday as to the best way forward.
