Split the difference and do the spine title in column form.

No difference to split... it is done.

Future titles...duh

Ah yes... duh...

Spoiler:

According to the status page ; bookbinding has now begun for The Lottery numbered.

One step closer. 📚🤓

I noticed you fixed the printed spine label on The Lottery. The title now runs the standard way reading top down. I was wondering if the top up was intentional before.

Not much gets passed you guys! You are not the first to have noticed this. But to answer your question, yes it was intentional. That was how we originally designed it, but I had changed my mind and forgot to update the imagery. There is no 'wrong' way with regard to the direction the label runs on the spine, it's just that we are more used to the way it's showing now. Perhaps the three greatest book designers of the twentieth century used to have the type running up the spine. All British and most European books used to do it that way. American books are the opposite. Well spotted.

After I posted my observation (but before you responded) I was chatting with my wife, who is a graphic designer, about what I noticed and she said "From the bottom up like the Europeans? That's not a mistake. I'd love to see more book spines designed that way." So now I will vet all my observations with her before posting.

Well, it's that way in France.
That was actually a conversation starter with my wife a few weeks ago, after we noticed that, in my shelves, the english-spoken books were in a different way than the french one. And i found an interesting (french) article about it.

Feel free to use google translate on it : http://www.slate.fr/story/146151/dos-des-livres


In short :
- in the past, books, in France were like this



- It's true that in america, they're like this. Which makes more sense, when being put flat on tables.




- but in France, the majoity of books are not put flat, otherwise they'd look like this.. which is not as efficient





But then, apparently, in France we're more likely to put the head down to the left instead of the right to read titles, and publishers kept it that way



Part of my shelves that shows that not all books are shown the same way... even though they are mostly french. But even among the french books it's not standardized...

That's so cool! Thanks for the peek.

I agree, thanks Jeremy!

As Edgar Allen Poe said to Howard Phillips Lovecraft, "It's all Greek to me, brother!"

now I'm getting sea sick

[jeffingoff]

I started flipping all my books over and speaking a really really poor imitation of French.

That settles it Jeff. Next unboxing is done in your "poor imitation of French". I am Greek and I still don't understand it Steve.

Talking about Jeff's videos, my mother told me yesterday she is a big fan of them and finds him very funny. For some strange reason, she especially enjoys the ones in which he unboxes items from a press called Suntup Editions.

Oh that's great! That's one viewer I definitely want to win over. Now I'm going to rewatch my videos and groan in discomfort! Which is pretty normal when I watch my videos.

It's obvious your mom has great taste in entertainment, and books Paul.

Come on Jeff, your vids are great. I wish I knew how to do them. I mean do them at all. I don't even know how to make a video and upload it.

It is like thinking a movie is appropriate for the parents and you watch it with them and it is filled with brutality and sex that is completely inappropriate. Embarrassing.

Now when I WATCH one of your videos I am going to cringe thinking of Ms. Suntup's convictions being under attack.

Honestly, Jeff, you should be ashamed.

There's nothing to it. REALLY. Nothing to it. I use an iPhone 8. And a free app called Splice.
