Text-only book

If you are planning on writing a book that contains only text there is a very simple way Blurb.com can help you.

1. Write your book using a word processing program such as WORD. 
2. Consult the Blurb web site for the proper margins. (See the Blurb website.)
3. Be sure to include a Front Cover page, inside Title Page, Copyright page, and as the last page, a Back Cover page. 
4. Then, simply convert the resulting WORD document into a PDF document. 
5. Upload the PDF document to Blurb.com and they will convert it into a book and print it for you. (See their website.) It is really that simple.

You have a second option for creating the front and back covers to your book that allows you to include a design for the spine. 

1. Omit the Front and Back Cover pages in your basic document.
2. In a separate document, design the back cover, spine, and front cover as a single-image.
3. Consult the Blurb website for the dimensions of this single image.  
4. Convert that image into a PDF document. 
5. Then, upload both the Covers PDF and the Body PDF to Blurb.com.
