Just printed out the PTU 1.05 book and I am going to try my hand at book binding! I have learned a lot about it but never got around to doing it so this will be my first book I hope it's good!


~{ Progress update April 13th, 2016 }~

I finished the book! You can see the whole thing over at my imgur album.

Here is the current state of the book.
Spoiler: click to toggle


And here is a failed test of the cover embossing I am planning I need to cut a negative of the emboss and press it using that while gluing the cover so that the glue can bind to the pleather.

I also need to coat it with some kind of sealer because the stuff I am using for the fake guilding comes off onto your fingers even multiple days later seems like it never will not from my tests. I may go with just a layer of glue but that's why I am testing it on the pleather first to see how it goes.

Heh, you might have wanted to hold off on that. The Devs are currently working on 1.06. Either way though, good luck!

I figured as much and that is part of why I only printed it in black and white. How ever that it will just give me more practice book binding :) I plan to make a second one anyway when I finish this one and learn from my mistakes.

The amount of INK.. ( I mean I work at an office supply store and I am thinking that didn't come 'cheap. Lets see even if ts just the core book:508, pages, double sided, its nearly over 1000 pages, (but I don't know what kind of bulk discount the print shop would give you., without the discount we're looking at 600.00s.. which is insane. And I know its gotta be slightly cheeper than a PCs or.. for that price a console.

That's way over the price it would be to print even in full color just doing 8.5x11 pages

All prices following will be off FedExs we printing service

I decided to print them 2 to a page to make my signatures this allows me to print 4 pages of the pdf to 1 2 sided peice of paper.

I printed it black and white to lower the cost but it would be about $10

In color it would be about $62

Even if I just printed it with one page on eather side that would be about 236 pages which would be $115ish

Basically my point is this is actually very affordable.
