Finally finished my Children's book, these are the inner pages.
The cover is not included, I'll upload that seperately once I work out the dimensions for paper back and hardback (dust jacket)
Overall happy with the project, it was alot of fun. Uploading low quality PDF.
Download on the Left
Thanks
edit - My sister thankfully noticed a spelling mistake on 6, this has been edited out and will not appear in the final printed book
edit - I took a friends advice and uploaded the first 25 pages of the book rather than the entire one. They said its better to have a teaser than the full thing hehe
The only problem I see is that you're releasing this online. If you expect people to actually buy the book when they can find it free online it pretty much defeats the purpose unless you're just looking to get your name out.
I'm not sure what way I'm going about it yet, obviously this is just the inner pages.
I cant imagine people would be happy with just those and not actually being able to hold it in their hands and snuggle up with the kids for a bedtime story or whatever but I'm thinking of going to lulu.com and getting them to publish it in amazon.
I have a final degree show coming up and my tutor said see what the reception is like then, if I get requests for more then get it published and forward the details to the clients.
Thank you very much for the reply, its given me something to think about.
And come to think of it, you're probably right. Only the incredibly cheap would read it to their kids online. I was under the impression that you had the entire book up for download.
Well the cover is up too so hopefully people will have a heart and buy it when I get it published through lulu.com hehe. Perhaps I should just upload samples. I'm not bothered, feedback is gold
Well if feedback is all you're after, I guess this is fine.
I hope they decide to buy the book instead. I do think samples might work better (it's what comic books do) so they get a taste of content, but will have to buy it to see the full product.
Then again, I can't think of many people who would try to actually rip off a children's book artist. It'd be really cheap of them to print it out for their kids or to show it to them off the screen.

But besides that, everything is superb!

Still, better safe than sorry.
