Online Tutorial for Blurb's Book Making Software

Check out this Blurb.com tutorial for their downloadable book making software. Did you ever have a book you wished you could make? I've been busting with ideas for photo books, art books, even funky poetry books...and if I download this, it eliminates my excuses. Not to mention making easier a process I struggled with on my first try. I am also thinking how helpful it would be to recommend a tool like this to library users who are into digital photography. Nothing replaces firsthand experience with a tool. Take a look:

What I'm Reading Today

Out of the Night That Covers MeOut of the Night That Covers Me by Pat Cunningham Devoto

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


12-year old John McMillan III navigates small-town Alabama after losing his parents. Indifferent or dangerous relatives are offset by a wise local “judge” and an array of other fascinating characters. In this book the wise have plenty of flaws too, as the Civil Rights movement gets underway. I enjoyed the complex ambience, and the way the characters talk to – and about - each other. I'm becoming a fan of Pat Cunningham Devoto. I'll have to read her other books now.

Some have compared this to To Kill a Mockingbird.
