So...
I've spent the past 45 minutes or so sewing a book together. Nothing new. Trying out something with a tacket binding that doesn't leave strings waving in the breeze (because there're two things I can't stand: wavy strings and cut off ends inside a signature). It was going pretty well, too; look!

Just one problem:

I have at least one font that, while beautiful, would get me a stern talking to and a fine from a lovely and talented lady if I attempted to sell things bearing that-fonted text because I haven't invested in the rights to use it that way. Meanwhile, I can print, paint, decoupage, stencil, and engrave with that font all I like, so long as it's for my own use or for a gift. Profit is the kicker. And should be.)

Rarely is there "profit" involved, more often "break even". And hey, if your partner winds up selling what you've sent, let it be on THEIR heads!)
