Ive just received a copy of the catalogue for an exhibition of designer bound
miniature books which is being held in The Netherlands.  Its in Dutch, so i
cant read it.  The title is :Eerste Nederlandse Handboekbindwedstrijd Voor
Het Miniatuurboek."  It was published by Philip Elchers, Groningen, 1999.

I dont know how to acquire one.  I received this from one of the binders, who
entered one of my books in the competition.

Hi Donn, you don't say whether you're using a PC or Mac. But assuming you
use a PC, there are three recommendations I can make. I've been keeping a
close eye on DTP software, and the computer press's reviews.

If you mainly want something simple, go for Serif Pageplus 5. It's is
lauded as being simple, with hundreds of hand-holding wizards to get
awkward tasks done. It's also cheap, and has a good amount of power and
flexibility - but can't compete on this score with Pagemaker or Quark. In
fact, if you want professional print from it, then Pageplus won't really
do. It can handle colour, but I don't think it can do full 4-colour
separations, and besides, pre-press bureaux won't be able to handle its
files since they only handle the professional packages. But if you just
want to print from your own desktop printer, then this isn't an issue.

If you want something really superb, with the very top typographical
abilities, then there's only one choice - the brand new Adobe InDesign.
It's Adobe's effort to topple Quark from the number one slot, and most
commentators reckon it will succeed. It can handle typography with almost
as much sophistication as traditional typographers working in hot lead (a
big leap forward), and has many whizzy features that are quite a step
forward for DTP. InDesign should be very slick and easy to use, though
it's not a hand-holding programme, and shares most of the Adobe interface
used in its other top programmes. It's on special offer until the end of
the year, at half price, bringing it to a very affordable level - about
twice as much as Pageplus. This programme is available for the Mac too.

The other option is Corel Ventura. This is far better than it used to be,
and is a very top programme. I've not used it, but it isn't especially
simple. However, it's real advantages are in creating long structured
documents, especially books, because it has unbeaten power at detailed,
consistent formatting, and good typographical flexibility. It's not cheap,
but cheaper than Pagemaker.

Hope this helps

Donn:
I'd go along with Corel Ventura. It's the best, but not cheap nor simple...
just the best.

Personally, I use Corel Draw 8 to lay out, typeset and print all my
miniature books... but then I've used it for 8 years and I know it pretty
well. I started on the old Ventura and I think this one's very good.

I received this letter from the Sobotas, about their trip, and they gave me
permission to share it with the group.  Neale Albert

Dear Neale,
We are finally back from France. It was a nice, interesting trip. We certainly
could not complain of being bored. First we went to Saint Jean de Luz. During
the drive we had visited a castle, one from hundreds build around Lore River. We
came to Saint Jean de Luz on Friday. The ceremony was on Friday. San Sebastian,
the Spanish city, was only 50 km. faraway, so we decided to go there, to see
Spain. San Sebastian was beautiful, as Saint Jean de Luz was. Jan was only one
who swam in the ocean, he doesn’t mind cold like normal people do. Evening,
when we started to drive back, our car broke. In the middle of the city, where
nobody spoke English. We don’t speak Spanish or French, so it was rather
difficult situation. After about two hours, thanks to a few very helpful and
nice people we had managed to have our car towed to a nearest service station
after all. It was 7:00 P.M. at that time. Service station was closing. We had to
leave our car there, with no idea when it will be fixed. Mechanics were nice,
but they had refused to get disturbed by telling us anything exact as for the
time. It was Friday, after all. They don’t work on Saturdays or Sundays. They
would check the car on Monday. Than order the parts from Madrid. Maybe on
Wednesday, Thursday, or after one week they will know more. They had taken us to
France though, for certain amount (rather big) of money, to which we were thanks
full.

We went to see the exhibition on Saturday. It was overwhelming! So many great
bindings! So many ideas. There were about 600 bindings from binders from all
over the world. I would not want to be in judges shoes. Many bindings would
deserve prize.

Evening was the ceremony with fantastic food and wine. There were 300 people. I
was happy for my prize, of course, but I am sure that many binders hated me,
because they felt that they were the ones, who had deserved the prize instead of
me or others who received the other prizes. Competition brings many bad
feelings. There are more unhappy people that happy ones. There were three first
prizes: One for a professional’s binding, one for an amateur’s binding and
one for an original book object. I had that for the original book object,
although I had not thought my binding to be a book object. Than there were
second and third prizes and many prizes given by different cities and
organizations. Prize giving ceremony took two hours. We were given wine during
that time but no food. The Japanese binder (First professional) and I were
called first, so after that I could enjoy good wine. We had a great company of
British and Dutch binders, who were good companions, so it was fun and we even
had managed not to show how drank we were after two hours of: Majors’ of
surrounding cities speeches, the organizers’ speeches, the honored binders’
speeches (here is my speech in full: “Mercy”), Basks choir singing. We were
really hungry when we, finally, could go to get our food. It was self served
style, buffets one. Many beautiful looking plates with hundreds of different and
exotic stuff on them. I finally understand old Romans. I felt like I had to
taste everything and I did my best in that way. (I gained only 3 kilos).

On Monday, we went to Spain, with a train. Our car was already transfer from San
Sebastian to another city. We managed to understand where it was and went after
it to that city. Than for two more days, while waiting on the car to be fixed,
we took a train to see ocean. It was so windy and cold, that even Jan didn’t
swim this time.

We were in a hotel, where was no Menu. It was interesting to wait at our food,
without having slightest idea of what it would be. We even had no idea about
prices, except of a hotel. We had tried to ask several times, but they had no
idea what we wanted, so they always showed us that dinner is on our room number.
We had learned only when we were paying our bill. It was on Wednesday, after
only two hours of trying to get our car from a garage. We spent my prize money
on the car repairs and hotel.

We went directly to Paris. After stopping our car in front of the first hotel,
the our car’s battery died. Fortunately, a hotel was not full and the price
was not outrage. On another hand, the car was not standing exactly on parking
spot. It was half on crossing path, on a very busy street. We managed, however,
to find gasoline station and we bought a new battery. We couldn’t find parking
place anyway, so Jan felt it would be safer to leave our car on that spot
without battery. We had dinner in that hotel, watching our car from hotel’s
window. Second day, AM, Jan went to put a new battery to the car and he drove
away, to find a legal parking place. At 8:30 A.M. he was back. He didn’t find
parking place, so he was not parking properly again. We had a breakfast at the
hotel and we sew from our window one car, leaving its spot. Jan jumped out from
hotel and run to our car while I was ready to defend the free parking spot with
my life. We had managed. Than we went to see Paris and to continue with stuffing
yourself with great pates, cheese and all goodies which French offer.

Friday morning, we left Paris and went home. We slept only one night in Germany.
We had stopped when our car seemed not to function with all its speeds. Jan
thought that a spark-plug is not good. It was late evening already and we
decided to wait till morning. We were getting used to fixing the car in all
countries where we were driving during our trip. So what was new? Fortunately,
morning, the car was OK. Jan had some explanation about this, but I didn’t
understand it. We went home and we had actually arrived that evening.

We spent a lot of money, taken from our house repairing account, but it was
worth it. Who needs a roof for the house anyway?

Have a nice day.

Jarmila

Dear MBS member,

We are sending greetings from Czech Republic.

This is the information about our new miniature book:

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

On the occasion of the year 2000, what better way to mark the Milennium? The Ten
Commanments - the historic message which addresses everyone. J & J Sobota's Book
Arts Studio has published The Ten Commandments in ten languages: Latin, Czech,
English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch and Slovak.
(Unfortunately, the book could not be published in the original Hebrew, due to
the difficulty of obtaining a Hebrew font for the computer.)

The Ten Commandments is a miniature book, 3 x 2 inches, in the shape of a cross.
The book is enclosed in a "medieval pouch," which monks used to wear at their
waist. This is a limited edition of one hundred numbered and signed copies,
published and bound by Jan and Jarmila Sobota at their studio in Loket, Czech
Republic, in 1999. Each book is printed in gold on handmade paper and bound in
various colors of goatskin, sheepskin or calfskin. The binding of each copy is
done with a multi-colored onlay and finished with gold tooling, thereby making
each copy unique. The elegant design resembles a jewel.

Available are shades of brown, blue, beige, yellow, pink, violet, black, orange,
yellow and red.

The cost of The Ten Commandments is US$200 plus postage of US$10 within Europe
and US$15 outside of Europe. Equivalent checks in major currencies, including
Eurochecks, VISA and Mastercard are accepted.

Dear Mr Albert

The catalogue was delayed at the printer. It went out last Wednesday so you
should receive it soon. Because of the delay, the catalogue is not yet up at
icollector either. However, the catalogue can be viewed at www.motco.com.

Please let us know if you don't get the catalogue soon or if you have
trouble locating the catalogue at motco.

My apologies for the delay

Best wishes

Trudy Mirza

Hello Neale,
     thank you for your 'welcome e-mail'.  We - my wife and I - are
collecting miniature books for more than 25 year. Last summer we had an
exhibition in the local library which was visited by many people.
As an (ex)librarian I have access to a lot of reference material.
Especially on Dutch miniature books.
So I am prepared to help member of this society with their questions on
this matter.

Kind regards.
