progress

Tentatively typesetting my book at the moment. Contemplating of changing the size to be smaller, so it is  easier to handle and transport as something entertaining to kill time (or a bathroom read). Probably 4.5 x 6.5 inches portrait;it will still be hardcover. 

Still having lots of trouble coming up with a book title and cover art!

potential titles:

Etiquette of the Uncomfortable


- Etiquette of the Unhappy


- Shit happens... 


- Sad Times... a guidebook


- Good manners, sad times


- Good manners, Bad days


- Don't Clap at a funeral... and other tips


I am currently focusing on the book binding, typesetting, illustrations and overall design of the book. The writing of the book is turning out to be a lot less funnier than I want, (reading about funerals is a bit of a downer) but it will have to suffer due to time constraints. I can fix it up for the gradshow afterwards. 


Goal is to test out hardcover sewing and binding technique by wednesday. 

MUST WORK HARD! YOU CAN DO IT FRANCES!
