How To Make a Book

In the last two months I've already translated more than five books from other writers and if you add mine on that count the numbers will double with the double of the double of it. They are all books that explain a methodology, except for the ones I just published which are novels. I also write books with my own techniques and methodology. They usually do very well, better than my novels, for sure! Some of my workbooks were recently purchased but one buyer made me wonder what makes one person buy a book by mistake. If this person gives me a bad review because of his own fault, of not paying attention to what's inside, i. e. the technique of the content, I am not the one responsible for that. I'm talking about How to Make a Book from my series How-To or Como fazer com lazer. Funny enough it was my Portuguese version that got people confused (in my own mother tongue!) Como fazer um Livro, of course it was in Portuguese, but even then it's not that confusing if I explain in the description of the book that it's a handmade material. The review I got from this person made me only smile: I was not wrong and yet I got a bad evaluation. Things are not really fair in the publishing market, if they were all right I would be a bestseller and Dan Brown oh, well, he would be selling Pretzels in New York. Just kidding. To me, he could well be selling tickets to the Louvre, which he surely did, in an indirect way, anyway... (Where is he now, by the way? I am missing all that fuzz about Leonardo da Vinci). So who knows one day I will become a bestseller and then I will have nothing else to complain about, haha! But don't worry, until that day arrives I will be fighting like "Cats and Squirrels: The Amusing Quarrel"
If you are anything like me and love to learn something knew, even by mistake, and wish to know more about Arts & crafts with collage, here is a book to play with your mind while it fulfills your heart:
Cool-Ages" to all ages!
Hopefully this person who bought my book by accident will benefit from some (if not all) of my words in there. They usually give an insight to those who read them. After all, making a book by your own hands and writing one have things in common, and the most important and essential is the love one has for books. So it was not a mistake after all!
