I’m still too unwell to go back to work, which is a pain because I only get paid when I’m in the office. I thought I was well enough to go in tomorrow, but a walk to a shop this frosty evening speedily taught me otherwise. So … another day at home, in which I can probably read but not much else. Maybe I should have ordered some novels and some cartoon books!
But I have discovered Karo and Lietzmann’s catalogue of Greek catenas. Now how do I get it in a form in which I can actually use it? I need something printed, in the hand.
At the moment I am trying to turn it into a Lulu.com book. I downloaded the Lulu settings for Adobe and I printed the PDF to PDF, thereby changing the page size and preparing it for Lulu. (It also made the PDF 10 times larger!) If I can just print this Google Books PDF in book form, then that would do. I can then slump on the sofa with a coke and a pencil and work through it.
If not, I need to power up the laser printer and just print selected bits of it. It’s 189 pages, after all!
UPDATE: I have created a book-form of K&L, which is available here. It’s £7.60, or about $10, if you want one. I’ve ordered one for me, so it will be interesting to see what the print quality is like.
Hi Roger, I was just wondering how the print quality turned out on this? I have some books from google books that I wanted to reprint myself.
Many blessings!
When I printed from PDF to PDF, it did something funny. When I got the output, it was OK but a bit grainy.
So … I need to rethink this. The problem is how to get the Google books PDF to the right size for Lulu.
