![]() What length book would you consider worthwhile – a leaflet of 20 pages or fewer? A booklet of 21-50 pages? A small book of 50-100 pages? 100+? (Bearing in mind that content for a 100+ page book would take a while to compile).ĥ. Would you be open to receiving a print-your-own PDF rather than bound paper?Ĥ. Would you find ebook format (meaning to be read on a book reader or iPad) useful?ģ. Would you be interested in a sequel to TNCM?Ģ. So I put these question to the few folk who visit this place and who I presume might be interested in such a thing:ġ. The income stream this would represent is quite small, and the burden of record keeping as a small business for taxes is immense by comparison to any possible profit (discounting entirely the major effort involved in creating the work itself). Shorter booklets or broadside sheets for example lend themselves more easily to web-based publishing both for the issuer and the downloader. I don’t think that’s necessary this time out. The last book was a 200+ page compendium of patterns, with lots of appendices of various sorts. I don’t believe that there’s a critical mass of stitchers out there yet who would make use of an ebook stitch reference when hard copy sits so quietly in one’s workbasket without consuming batteries. I do know that for this type of book paper copies are still valued by most. And given my horrible experience with the publisher of The New Carolingian Modelbook, I’m looking into other options, in specific – the feasibility of self-publishing, but I know very little about the various web-based micropublishing alternatives, but I’m open to all concepts. ![]() I’ll be resuming my search for a decent charting program (or general purpose graphics program) specific to the needs of legible presentation for double running stitch. I’ve been talking about a sequel to TNCM for years, but now I’m engaged in doing it. I’m having way too much fun with these patterns to stop. I’m working the foreground double running stitch using a single thread of DMC 310 black, and the background in long armed cross stitch using two strands. This one is also from the V&A 14.931 sampler. I’ve run out of lettering, but I’m keeping the red-black-red alternation. I’ve been alternating red patterned panels and lines of black lettering.
