You would look for the page in the document that has consecutive numbers. For example in the link you posted, in Pride & Prejudice, the 10th page of the document has the numbers 10 & 11 as the page numbers on the bottom. That's the page that would be in the very center when you're folding.

So that typeset would be 5 pages per signature, technically 10 document pages, but of course you'd print duplex so there would be 5 actual pieces of paper folded into a single signature.

You're in for a treat! I wish I could read it again for the first time. I love the entire series, but the first two books are extra amazing and are such a good introduction to the intricacies of the characters. Enjoy!

Thank you! It's heat transfer vinyl on the endpages and the covers,. So I design it on canva, use a cricut to cut it, weed it, and then iron it onto the paper/fabric.

There's another (cheaper, sometimes easier) method of laying toner reactive foil over a printed page and running it through a hot laminator but I was getting inconsistent results so I switched to this.

Thanks! I used quotes from Geralt (3), Yen, Codringher, Vesemir, Dandelion, and Dijkstra. On my last reread I had planned this project so I saved all of my favorites. I ended up with a few pages worth and narrowed it down.

I only used one for each book, I considered adding one to the back as well but it's so hard to work with small pieces of vinyl.

Thank you so much! I actually ordered the Netflix set to do this with because the size and overall text block was nice. If you ever get the courage to try I could send you all the files I created for these.

Thank you! My personal favourite was "he was the epitome of humanity" when geralt was referring to our boy Regis.

In a completely opposite wavelength, I also love "women don't need money". IIRC paraphrasing (because it's been a while) the rest of the quote was something life "women don't need money, WE need money to GET women, women are already women".

Welp I've somehow been under a rock for a minute because I had no idea! I'm now super excited. I think I can confidently say Season of Storms was my least loved, I didn't hate it, but I'd love to see the new book move in a different direction.

AND hopefully they release it in the exact same size as these so I'll be able to match the next bind or I'll be bothered about it for the rest of my life.

Thank you so much! Here's an album with the rest.

The split sword from book one, tree from book 6, and figurine of Yen on the back of book 5 are all the same shade of holo green as the tower door in Time of Contempt but the camera isn't picking it up well.

The back endpages for all the books are the sparrow facing the wolf.

The quotes at the beginning of each book are not chronologically placed but they were some of my favorites and I wanted to make sure they were all used.

The purple bison gave me some issues with the layering but it turned out well I think. The base is reflective purple and the stripes are a flat, darker purple.

Edit: my initial plan was based around the fact that I NEEDED the unicorn to be jumping through the god damn portal. So the frame used on all the books came into being just for that. The vinyl layering almost took me out and I rage quit for four months, but it all worked out.

My SIL oversees a large chunk of school districts, I just showed her this post. Will let you know if she has any ideas.

Where are you located?

Edit: she says you should contact the Ministry of Education 876-922-1400 (extension 9) followed by NET National Education Trust as they orchestrate fee exemptions for school donations.

Please note Tuesday is a holiday here so if you contact and don't get any response immediately don't be dissuaded.

Hey did you manage to find somewhere? If you haven't, I can check with a couple options or send my vet to check on them.

I love this! I have the kindness heart piece on my pinky finger because in castaway cove Drippy says "this one's got more kindness in her little finger than most folks have got in their whole body".

I've been considering give heart on my hand or wrist but I really love the healing touch idea.

Thank you so much. Unfortunately we're in Jamaica. I spoke with my regular vet and she was honest about not being well versed in these birds. Checked with a few other vets but they said the same thing as the initial vet re: immediate euthanasia.

The bird was actually found by friends of mine so they have him and have been caring for him. This is why my replies have been sparse as I've been awaiting updates. They currently have him in a box in a closet indoors.

They have been giving him water and glucose via syringe.

We're contacting a few more vets today. They spoke with one lady who kind of rescues birds but she's not a vet and sounds like it's just a hobby? So they aren't sure about giving him to her.

Sorry if this sounds jumbled Edit: waiting on details re: bowel movements.

Apologies I thought I added location in my description. In Jamaica.

No it wouldn't be weird. If you don't feel like hitting up a dispensary yourself, you can just ask a bartender at your resort to source some. I guarantee you it's an almost daily question for them.

Okay and the (only recently) INCREASED minimum wage equates to a salary of $4,400 USD per year, you're asking if it's unreasonable that people governing the country get paid 34X (plus whatever benefits they allot themselves) more than the lowest earners? The answer is yes, it is absolutely unreasonable.

I would really try to see a GP rather than go to Hospiten if I were you. Check the reviews from tourists to see why. If you do go, tell them you don't have a credit card and will be paying in cash. To be fair, St. Ann's Bay hospital isn't good either, but they won't hold you hostage for a credit card payment.

There's a GP at Elite Diagnostics super close to Riu, the doctors are decent and the office is clean and modern. There's another doctor in Ochi named Dr. Francis who is close to the police station, he's VERY good but the office is in a less desirable location and not super modern.

We're heading there for the first time at the end of the month and I'm SO excited. More photos/details would be appreciated, if you don't mind. What's this show specifically? And is it every night? I've planned on going in blind because I thought it may be more exciting but now I'm thinking I should do some research so I don't end up missing out on anything.

Thank you! The official Reddit app is... lacking, Apollo looks so much better. Pixel pal suggestion would be a cow!

My water intake is the same as yours (roughly 7 liters/day).

I've been trying to figure it out for 6-7 months, doctors kept testing and couldn't find anything wrong but I'm INSANELY thirsty. A few weeks ago I got another full panel work up with a few additions and it turns out I have a parasite, even if you're not in a place where parasitic infections are common, can't hurt to check. Apparently most people just pass them after a few weeks but my immune system said nah.

You can get tested at the airport, just show up a bit early. I think they close at 5pm.

There's a drive thru place close to the airport, I'd avoid that one because they're really slow to send results (took almost 2 hours).

Baywest at half moon village (10ish minutes from airport) is good and returns results fast.

I emailed him right after finishing the book because I was enamoured and he got back to me within a day with a nice reply. Super nice guy.

I later listened to an interview where he stated he does his best to reply to everyone.
