Though I enjoy reading books on the craft, I detest exercises. I wish that more authors/publishers would separate the textbook from the study guide; that way I could buy the one I really want, saving some money besides. I tend to feel disappointed when I buy a book and later learn that half of it contains questions I will likely ignore.

If the pages are numbered, gusts of wind probably won't be disastrous as long as the project isn't out on a picnic table or somewhere that the pages would actually blow away. However, this format might tempt people to break copyright restrictions by photo copying pages.

Options B, D, and E have parts to go missing, and the spiral binding of C makes it look less serious and maybe wouldn't discourage messy writing as much as it could. Books are a bit difficult to write in and the space is limited, but I find that makes me stop and really think before I write. People can add their own notebooks to any of the options. <br /><br />About weddings, a couple near us did a drive-in (not drive-thru) wedding. The wedding was just outside a gazebo in a circular park with parking spots all around. The bride wore her dress and the bride and groom each had an attendant who stood in the usual (distant) spots. They had good loudspeakers for the ceremony and everybody honked when they kissed.Lnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-31323122633622801272020-04-20T12:43:36.586-07:002020-04-20T12:43:36.586-07:00I vote for option B.

But I feel I need to say this: I'm concerned that you might be planning travel and group meetings for August. Much as we hate for this COVID 19 thing to hang on and on, no one knows when it might be "safe" to resume travel and/or life beyond social distancing. The most believable forecast I have seen to date has us <i>possibly</i> resuming activities like shopping, eating out in restaurants and maybe small gatherings of people...IF the virus takes a seasonal "break" for the summer. But no large gatherings--concerts, sports games, festivals, etc.--until there is a reliable vaccine or treatment for COVID. Just...please take care of yourself!

And if you wouldn’t put space for answers in the book, then you don’t need to worry about those parallel lines in the fleshy part of the hand. �� But I guess I would need to know just how much more expensive the spiral bound books are before I could have any idea whether the extra cost will be justified in the minds of your potential customers.Darlene Millernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-13971302709693809242020-04-20T04:28:08.936-07:002020-04-20T04:28:08.936-07:00I vote for Option B.
