I try to keep several copies of each of my books in case someone wants to purchase one. Getting ready to order more, I am reviewing the Pumpkin Project.
Another reason is to look over the pumpkin cookie recipe. The three sugar pie pumpkin vines were very prolific and pumpkin cookies are my fall indulgence.
Wandering Down Memory Lane
This was my first science activity book. I’ve had to revise and edit several times already as I learn more about constructing puzzles.
This book also introduced me to the world of giant pumpkins. The growers I met both in person and by email were very interesting people. A pumpkin weigh in is a great place to be that first weekend of October.
Massive File Size
In reviewing the Pumpkin Project this time I did find a few grammar mistakes, some misspellings, mior things. What really impressed me is how big the file is for this book. I started wondering why it is so big, which is why I haven’t been able to make a digital version.
All of the pictures in this book are at 400 dpi. In the City Water Project, the images are only 300 dpi and print fine. And, even though this science activity book is half the length, it is one fifth the size.
Future Plans
I would like to have a digital version of the Pumpkin Project. For now I will keep the massive file to have more of these books printed.
The images can be resized to 300 dpi a few at a time. It won’t take a lot of time to do a few each day. I’m starting with the Investigations.
In reviewing the Pumpkin Project, I’ve accomplished several things. I corrected some minor problems and found the possible reason I’ve never been able to create a digital version. Perhaps I should review some of my other books.
