The books below are not published on amazon, nor are they intended to be. As I am not interested in marketing those books (due to time consumption and pecuniary expense), these books will be available as PDFs which can therefore be read on screen and of course downloaded.
As someone who would not encourage screen reading (useful but not desirable in preference to reading the printed page), I would encourage and very much like the idea of these publications being printed out. In the case of children's books, having a small number of pages, I am considering producing a PDF format whereby the reader can print facing pages (2 per A4 size, i.e. comprising individual A5 pages) and construct an actual booklet! It would not be that difficult to do double sided printing .... thereby downloading a digital book copy for printing out as a book, enabling reading from the printed page!

This children's picture book tells a story about how Jack persuaded small birds to be able to visit his garden without being chased away by the bigger birds!
Baby Goes Tick Tock! is a simple picture book, not only for Baby, but the reader of this part of my website.
I originally published this
using a wordprocessor and printed it out in the usual way, using card covers.
The pages could of course be laminated and so on.
I decided to revisit this short booklet by using my Affinity Publisher software, being a regular user of Affinity Photo, which is great for resizing photos and other images, as well as altering resolution (DPI).
