In fleshing out my second book I realize it’s coming in at more than 180 pages.

I split it in two. Floor-standing Smart Gardens and BYO Photons Hydroponics. I cap both logbooks at 180 pages.

I revisited the Countertop logbook and increase its page count from 120 pages to 180 pages.

I lock in my pricing for the first edition. It’s 120 pages and is going to basically be my loss leader.

The second edition, 180 pages, in paperback and hard cover is priced just past the 50%-60% KDP boundary. The print cost is more, especially in countries like Australia (44% more than Canada).

I delve into Ingram Spark.

I get everything setup and then discover that IS doesn’t like my PDFs that Amazon was okay with. IS doesn’t like my colour profile. Again, Amazon was okay with my files. I look into what I’d need to do. Upgrade my Standard version of Corel Draw. Not happening.

So, I’m not going to use Ingram Spark.
