well, the first copy of the book came back WITH crop markings showing; as I expected. I had hoped I would be wrong and they would have been cut off …..but nope. So now I have taken those borders out of the pdf file; amazed I figured out how to “crop” and apply it to “all” of the file. Easier than I thought. But though I don’t see it when looking at the pdf file; when I load it into lulu it’s showing the cropping marks……so more work ahead…………. Other problem was the quality of color photographs was abit off color and “dull” because of paper stock I’m thinking. hmmm…….
