Somehow rotated book title 90 degrees and can't get it back :(
Tips and Tricks
You probably selected another layout by mistake, one with vertical title. Look in the upper left corner for the layouts.

BookSmart & Mac OS X Peopard NOT
BookSmart
Brian,
Perhaps I wasn’t answering you, but the original poster… He said “I just installed Leopard on my Mac this afternoon and just tonight I opened up BookSmart to continue editing on a book I am making. I opened the book and tried to input some text and BookSmart crashed.” I had the same experience (Booksmart crashing with Leopard) with Booksmart 1.9.1, but 1.9.2 works fine now.

The latest version of Booksmart (1.9.2) seems to work fine with Leopard. I have no problems changing text.

2 computers

Yep, you can. Just copy the files to the same directory on the other computer, start Booksmart and it will find them without any problem. You didn’t say if you use a PC or a Mac. On a Mac it is home/library/application support/booksmartdata.

Printing comparison: Blurb vs Lulu
Book Printing
Oops, sorry. The softcover books are printed on the Xerox, the hard cover on the HP. My mistake. I’ve only printed hardcover books and they are quite good.

Look at the third post in this thread: http://forums.blurb.com/forums/5/topics/621
The book interiors are printed on a HP Indigo, the Xerox is used only for the dust cover.

Printing comparison: Blurb vs Lulu
Book Printing
Interesting. I’ve printed some books at Lulu too, and I found quite the opposite. The Lulu books are quite poor, and especially photos with large plain colors (like a blue sky) come out banded. I decided Lulu is too far below my standards.
I understand that Blurb books are printed on a HP Indigo. There is even a forum thread somewhere that points you to an ICC profile, which I use to ‘soft proof’ and correct my images before I use them in a book. That makes all the difference in my experience.

BookSmart 1.9.2 is now available
BookSmart
Sigh, once again The Blurberati neglected to mention the critical need for backing up,

> no way back.
Doesn’t that apply to updating ANY program and ANY file? If you don’t make daily backups of your files, not just your Booksmart files but ALL your files, you are asking for trouble. Don’t blame Blurb if that trouble finally arrives…

On my Powerbook G4 this version runs fine, but on my PowerMac Quad G5 it caused three kernel panics in a few hours…

I run Booksmart without any problems on a 1920×1200 pixels display on my Macintosh.
