BLAD

This morning I went and spoke to Sally Hope in Vis Com and she advised me not to make an entire book, as even for third year Vis Com students this is a lot of work.
She informed me about a thing called a BLAD which by definition means;

Blad stands for book (or, basic) layout and design. A blad is a booklet, often wire-bound, consisting of a few sample pages or chapters of a book with a proof of the front and back covers or book jacket. It serves as a preview of the book for promotional use, reviewers, and advance sales.

So my have decided to change my project. I shall now just be making a BLAD of my animal sex book and focus on it as if I was going to pitch it to a publishing company.
This means I'm going to have to look at different publishers and look at it more like a business plan.
