Hot Stamping for my thesis books. My thesis books are truly a
special edition. I just made two books for this version!
You can see at the RISD Library and RISD Jewelry Department.
This hot stamping is from Hope Bindery in Pawtucket.
Printing and Perfect Binding from Allegra which is a local print shop in Providence. I used Lulu.com before and they did a terrible job for my books. They made a square book even though the book size is apparently vertical. I complained about it and Lulu didn't reply until I had this book from
Allegra. Anyway, it is a long story to get this book.
So... I decided to make my own hard cover since the printing shop didn't have the machine for my book size. My book size is 7.44 x 9.68 inch.
The great news!
Now we can upload our PDF file to Blurb.com to publish our book as
well. I am so glad that Blurb provides this system!
