I don have a desktop publishing program to set up pages and I can afford to spend $600 – $800 for a good one. Any advice?
Well, you could always set up your pages by hand and then take them to a copy shop and get them copied. That’s how I started, years ago. But a really easy and inexpensive way is to get a copy of ClickBOOK, which will allow you to set up your book pages and cover(s) in any word processor and then print them out in the correct order and size for your book.
