About the project
This book was originally a print book that Qld Museum published, and this Corals section was only one chapter out of that book. Implementing our Ebook Designer's Touch™, we took the files that they gave us (which were more suited to a print layout) and we re-designed the pages so that the text was larger and the layout worked better for a Fixed Layout ebook. Once this was done, we converted the PDF we had created into a Fixed Layout epub and mobi with several cross-references throughout, linking pages to other pages etc. We also did some updating to the customer's existing iBooks file which was an enhanced version of the above ebook, ensuring that pages linked correctly and did some minor adjustments to text and images. Then we published the ibooks file, the epub and the mobi to the relevant vendors.

About the project
Emma approached us with her completed manuscript and 14 workout instructional videos. She did not have her book designed for fixed layout ebook so we designed the book from scratch using our signature service Ebook Designer’s Touch™. We also designed the front cover using images supplied by Emma. We then converted her book to standard fixed layout epub and mobi. Once the standard version was approved we then converted an enhanced epub version containing her 14 supplied videos. Her book was distributed to all major vendors. ...continue reading "The Baby as your Weight Workout"
The New Facilitators Handbook For Group Workshops
Author: Linda Carr
ISBN: 9781925029505
About the project
Linda came to us with a ready made PDF of her book layout which she wanted converted to fixed layout epub and mobi files. The cover was already designed and the layout already created, so all we had to do was convert the book layout to an ebook for her.
She had some alterations to her original layout, specifically removing some graphics and some imperfections that had come about from being in a PDF and then she was happy with the result! ...continue reading "The New Facilitators Handbook For Group Workshops"
Indigo and the Mistletoe
Contributors: Janelle Fisher
Ebook ISBN: 9781925029499
About the Project
Janelle had already published her book in print, though at a size which was not conducive to displaying on devices. We consulted with Janelle to alter the dimensions of each page, combining two in to one and made sure they were a suitable size to fit comfortably on an ebook reading device.
Then it was simply a matter of making a fixed layout epub and mobi file out of the existing artwork. ...continue reading "Indigo and the Mistletoe"
From Reel to Disc

Ebook available on:
When this job was brought to us, it was in the form of an already created epub file. However, this file didn’t pass its basic validation and many errors in the code needed to be fixed up by us. We then created the mobi file from this and went on to aggregate on all major vendors except Apple, as the code created from this other publisher was not compatible with the iBookstore and we didn’t have the time or budget to fix it.
About the book
The Launceston Film Society prides itself on being the largest film society in Australia with a membership in excess of 1500 people. Its beginnings though were a little less ostentatious. It is this story that has been researched and written by Launceston historian Dr Thomas Gunn in the new book From Reel to Disc. Commissioned by the Film Society, Dr Gunn soon encountered a major stumbling point: no-one seemed to know when the Society actually started. It was fortunate that many years ago a member of the committee had given the original minute book to the Launceston Library. This was to provide the foundation for the initial research which was then carefully developed through oral histories and further research. The idea of a film society was not new; a number existed at various times in Launceston. It was the Launceston Adult Education Film Society, established in 1958, that was to continue and exists today as the Launceston Film Society. The Society has survived a number of challenges and changes in our world: the introduction of television, of coloured television and of the video recorder. But only just. These were innovations that were the death knell of many film societies world-wide and indeed threatened the film and cinema industry itself. It is not exactly known how many films have been shown by the Society. In the early days it was one a month. Today they show over 40 films a year, each with four screenings at Village Cinemas. The films shown originate from around the globe and have covered numerous subjects and many genres.

This book is no longer for sale.
This book was converted to a standard (reflowing) ebook. The decision was made to do reflowing, not fixed layout, so that people could easily read the book on smaller devices. It was a lovely, clean design to begin with and care was taken to ensure that this clean look translated well to a reflowing ebook. We then distributed the book through our usual resellers.
About the book
Om is an art-based self-help book which is designed to encourage optimism and well-being. It works in three ways—through special meditative artworks (Oms) as well as titles and sayings.
The Secret Life of Chords
Contributors: Peter Lloyd (Author)
Ebook ISBN: 978-1-925029-76-5
No longer available
What we did:
Peter came to us late 2013 with a PDF he wanted converted into an ebook. We decided then that the best way to share his book would be in a fixed layout ebook. The reason for this was that there was an extensive number of tables and the layout of each word and symbol had to sit a certain way.
We recommended to Peter to increase the type size of his PDF to make it easier to read on a tablet (especially when we know some don’t allow zooming). In the following months, Peter returned to us an updated PDF. Using this layout we converted it to a fixed layout ebook. After tweaking it we released it on vendors using Peter’s supplied cover.
Late in 2014 Peter came back to us with some changes to his book. We followed the same process and re-released it on vendors in December.
About the book
This book introduces the twelve chord progressions which make music work and a unique system of chord substitution which adds colour and expression. Cyclic progressions and modulation from key to key are explained in full. The music theory is demonstrated with hundreds of musical examples and numerous composition exercises.

About the project
Tony came to us with a PDF of a compilation of his comic strip, which had already been created as a print book. However, there was a small twist in that the title of the book was different in the UK and only in the UK. We took the PDF as well as the amendments that needed to be made in order to change the title from Insanity Streak to Odd Streak and converted them both separately. ...continue reading "Insanity Streak"
