Woah no way! You should definitely check out this book then. AADL has a bunch of physical copies but cardholders can also download a PDF from the collection:
Reminder to self. Come back and reread. Especially about the Press mentioned. I like the model described. I'm working on 2 books I'll be outlining on substack.....A Beginners Guide To Sign Language For Agencies Families And Other Groups and a unique Save The Monarch Butterflies Book.........thinking of doing a Kickstarter and just starting to try to find a proper publisher....
Those sound like great books! I should note, Fifth Avenue Press only accepts books by authors that live on Washtenaw County, Michigan, or books about Washtenaw County.
Great work, Nathaniel! The print collab was tricky and could have gone sideways in a lot of ways, so I’m happy to see that it stayed true to the vision. Love it when a plan comes together!
Thanks Mike! It was definitely touch and go there, and it illustrates how USUALLY you should know specs like that before designing. But I’m glad it happened this way because if the book started with them, it probably wouldn’t have gotten the treatment it did.
Nate! This was delightful to read and I am so pleased and proud of your phenomenal design work (along with Amy and Amanda) on my book. The path it took was definitely circuitous but where it ended up was beyond my wildest dreams. I was originally shooting for a magazine article for the UM bicentennial, then after that deadline passed a long illustrated blog post, and finally (maybe if I was lucky) an Arcadia-like B/W local history paperback. I never dreamed of a 340+ page full color coffee table hardcover, but once Fifth Avenue Press took the project on it became a possibility. Then, when U-M Press generously agreed to make that happen, it seemed like the only way it would have really worked! I am so glad you took the lead on making the design fit the spirit of the subject matter so amazingly well. All best wishes for your continued success.
this is beautiful work! You should be proud of it.
Thank you!!
Oh my god I love this! I live in Ann Arbor and love cinema it’s like the algorithm gods dropped your work in my lap!

I love AADL. I am literally launching a podcast later this month about how much I love it. I will totally check it out!

That's beautiful work.
Thanks Michael!
Fascinating! I’ve recently become enchanted by book designs… some of them are truly spectacular. This is lovely work ❤️
Thanks Kate!
Quality nonfiction books are true multimedia art projects, and I love seeing behind the scenes!
