When “cut” and “paste” meant using a scissors and Elmer’s glue, I laid out my first book. The printing company used a four-foot camera to convert the illustrations into images for the pages of the book. Space for the text was blocked out with black construction paper glued on onionskin paper. Pages and proofs went back and forth through the mail. Fast forward to scanners, digital cameras, JPGs, and PDFs. You gotta love it – having your creativity and memories jump to life, to be held in your hands and shared, seemingly within minutes.
