From Blog Posts or Notebook to Book : Part I, up to reproducible originals

From Blog Posts or Notebook to Book : Part I, up to reproducible originals · Part II, from reproducible originals to books you can turn the pages of

• A) For a notebook :
  
  each pair of facing pages is numbered as two pages going later side by side on reproducible original
  
  8 - 1 : 16 - 09 : 24 - 17 : 32 - 25 : 40 - 33
  2 - 7 : 10 - 15 : 18 - 23 : 26 - 31 : 34 - 39
  6 - 3 : 14 - 11 : 22 - 19 : 30 - 27 : 38 - 35
  4 - 5 : 12 - 13 : 20 - 21 : 28 - 29 : 36 - 37
  
  48 - 41 : etc : 88 - 81
  42 - 47 : etc : 82 - 87
  46 - 43 : etc : 86 - 83
  44 - 45 : etc : 84 - 85 : etc
  
  and pages are written in the order they are numbered in. First two facing pages, you write on p. 1, to the right, then turn the page, write p. 2 on the left, then turn the page, write p. 3 on the right, then turn the page, write pages 4 and 5 in order, turn the page back, write page 6 to the left, turn the page back, write page 7 on the right, turn the page back, write page 8 to the left, turn a few pages and start next four pairs of facing pages by writing p. 9 to the right. And so on.
  
  Copy these as pairs.
  
  If notebook has an opened size greater than a lying A4, diminish, and glue the pages to A4s folded on the middle in a symmetric way.
  
  Use then these copies or glued copies like this: 8 - 1 head to head with 4 - 5, 2 - 7 head to head with 6 - 3. 16 - 09 head to head with 12 - 13, 10 - 15 head to head with 14 - 11, and so on.
  
  Usually two A4 lying "beside each other" (physically) or "head to head" (as pages go in writing) on the A3 screen of a copy-machine. Diminish to A4. You now have reproducible originals.
  
  
• B) For blog posts:
  
  Successive posts are copied and pasted onto a word document. It should then be blued all over (select all) and points of font size be put twice as large as you want the final book. If you want book in 12 points, the font size on word should be 24.
  
  Not just font size, but also font, paragraphing and hyphenisation at end of lines can be refined at this stage.
  
  Instead of making one word document for all of the book, you can make more than one word document.
  
  Next stage is numbering the pages.
  
  After that, the pages are divided into lots of 8. These are then subdivided like this:
  
  8 - 1 : 16 - 09 : 24 - 17 : 32 - 25 : 40 - 33
  2 - 7 : 10 - 15 : 18 - 23 : 26 - 31 : 34 - 39
  6 - 3 : 14 - 11 : 22 - 19 : 30 - 27 : 38 - 35
  4 - 5 : 12 - 13 : 20 - 21 : 28 - 29 : 36 - 37
  
  48 - 41 : etc : 88 - 81
  42 - 47 : etc : 82 - 87
  46 - 43 : etc : 86 - 83
  44 - 45 : etc : 84 - 85 : etc
  
  Two and two these A4 pages are set side by side on A3 screen of copy-machine and reduced to a single A4.
  
  Then these A4's with two pages are further reduced: 8 - 1 head to head with 4 - 5, 2 - 7 head to head with 6 - 3. 16 - 09 head to head with 12 - 13, 10 - 15 head to head with 14 - 11, and so on.
  
  Usually two A4 lying "beside each other" (physically) or "head to head" (as pages go in writing) on the A3 screen of a copy-machine. Diminish to A4. You now have reproducible originals.
  
  
• C) If you missed a preface, a title page, a few pages about how you have the copyright (unique or shared), well, add an extra 8 pages:
  
  uiij - [i=] Title page
  [ij=empty] - uij
  uj - iij
  iu - u
  
  This is inserted before the other ones. Treated exactly like above, should yield two single faced originals with uiij - [i=] Title page head on head with iu - u and [ij=empty] - uij head on head with uj - iij.
  
  
• D) Speaking of copy-right!
  
  If you take the posts from a blog, it should be one of following:
  
  
  • a) your own;
    
    
  • b) someone else's who gave you a personal permission to print it as books;
    
    
  • c) someone else's who gave a general licence (if excluding certain categories, make sure you are not on an excluded list) to do so;
  
  
  and if the personal permission or general licence marks "non-commercial use only", you cannot sell the books.
  
  My own general licence has no exceptions, and it is not marked "non-commercial use only", so you can sell books if taking it from my blog posts (insofar as these are entirely my own, for posts with shared copyright, there is another owner to consult as well*). In return I hope some of those who do so will be sending me money for it.
