My grandfather recently passed away and i'm hoping to create a book with all of his charicatures. He took great pleasure in making fun of our very large family through small drawings. Anyway, I'll need to scan several hundred drawing into what will turn out to be probably a 300+ page book. I can do all the scanning and everything but I don't know if I should use a particular program or format. Also, once I've scanned everything, who do you recommend I use for printing and binding a book? I probably want around 30 - 50 copies. Thank you! Dear Ron,

I want to put them all together in one book. Would the same helpful information in the article above apply? I wanted to know - if everything is the way I want it on my end, would a place like SelfPublish.com take it from there and work with it to print the 100 or so copies that you were speaking of? Thanks for any help! Jill Jill,   SelfPublishing.com would be perfect for you Ron P Dear Ron,
