I would like to buy the softcover version of your book but the checkout is not working on this site. I checked Amazon.com and they have the hardcover version which is too expensive, especially since there is a soft cover version. I submitted an email to Blurb about the checkout, and am awaiting on a reply....but if I don't get a response do you have a copy you can send me? My email is: mousebird.mama@gmail.com

To expand on my comment - the background for the chapter headers were images created in Photoshop. You can use this technique in BookSmart by just importing the image as you would any photograph.

Sorry – somehow i missed your comment. Because of the amount of text, this book was designed using Adobe InDesign.

Sorry if this is a dumb questions, but was this book created with booksmart? I have used booksmart to create a few books, but nothing with different colored backgrounds like in this book. Is this possible in booksmart?
