I wish I had done this for every project, ever. Live and
learn. The books themselves are made with a little tool written in Go
called picturebook. At
its simplest you run picturebook
by pointing it at a
folder full of images and a PDF file pops out on the other
end. For example, this is what happens when I run the command ./bin/picturebook
~/weblog/2019/01/30/something/images
picturebook is a mornings-and-weekends project so
the documentation is limited. It is only one of many possible ways
to do the same thing. It's also the place where I've been
experimenting with purpose-fit books for specific things like
Cooper Hewitt visit
(and shoebox)
exports as well as the or this...
drawings,
something I'll write about more in another blog post.
