If you squint, it looks like a book.

jeriendhalSo I made the mistake of mentioning to my mom that I have a Lulu account. As she already had a book from my niece ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kairyuu of her photographs, I agreed to print copies for her, which arrived yesterday. The Dragon's Companion, my collection of Teal & Philosopher stories, looks very... um... basic. It's magazine or RPG supplement sized, with lots of wide text, blank space and a B&W piece of cover art courtesy of Cheeko.
But for private amusement I also created a book by mashing together The Grace of God and Spin Recovery (note tochaypeta: this isn't availible for purchase, it's just something I did as an experiment in typesetting). It turned out fairly well. I goofed on the page count so the there is no cover page and the chapter pages are opposite where I wanted, but it almost looks like a real book.
And I'm not going to be able fix it at all, because I lost the file I used to put the stories together and I don't want to do that much work again to put it back together. :( But damn it looks pretty nice.
