Grace,

Cleaning up my in box posts and see that I failed to respond to one yours...

Over the years I've taken many mountain shots with my Pentax LX on slide film and enjoy the occasional evening with the slide projector. It's the best way to view.

But what you've described here is remarkable...!!!
It's expensive to have this done printing from high quality slides. Are these publishing companies available to others outside of the professional photographers...?

>>I also did a small offset book with the pictures and it was the first time I was able to do something like that, that involved zero consumables. I shot digital, uploaded to the laptop, edited on the desktop, added captions in the book software, uploaded to the publishing company and five days later a 50 page, hard back, completely bound, offset printed book arrived in my mailbox for the total cost of $40. No film, paper, proofing or even delivery cost until the PO charge to receive the book. It is beautiful, not the finest printing in the world but the best for the price. I've worked on photography books for 30 years and it has never been so simple, so cheap and trash free to self publish a book.<<
