LOL! Quote of the day, as they say. I noticed while that while watching the vid. Judging by the number of vanity titles they print, I bet the narrator was unintentionally correct.

Hi, I would be very grateful for some advice please. I'm in the process of publish my first cookbook, and I have obtained printed proof copies of my book from 5 different professional book printing companies, including Amazon KDP. The problem is, whilst the text comes out great, the photos don't look anywhere near as good as they do on my computer screen i.e., the pictures on my computer screen are very sharp and vivid, but the printed pictures in the books are shockingly poor as they're flat, dull, low definition, and nowhere near as sharp, and this is with all 5 printed copies from 5 different professional book printing companies. The pictures were taken with a quality DSLR camera, and as I said, the pictures are of very high clarity and definition, but the printed pictures don't look good - can you advise why that might be? Thanks.

[@PizzA_TimE]

I’m no professional, but maybe you could describe to them what saturation or quality lines you want before they start

I honestly don't read books i cant even remember the last time i read a book but i was super curious how this process was done.

[@BN47]

I would encourage you to start reading. You must. "Those who don't read are no better off than those who can't read." Reading will make you a better communicator and a clearer thinker. It will give your life more depth and meaningful complexity. Given that you're not reading flippant nonsense, over time you will be more enjoyable to converse with and much more capable of giving sound advice. Especially if you learn to love biography, the more you read the more life experiences you'll be acquainted with to draw from. Reading opens up a brilliant life...

[@ya8158]

@@BN47 most biographies are glorified storytelling. It’s like based on a true story movies. Most bestsellers have a ton of articles and videos going through everything that was lied about plus There’s just so much info that can’t be disproven but has to reliable evidence to prove it either and simple info like waking up and drinking coffee with a danish while driving down a highway can be embellished or made up to sound interesting and no one actually remembers the unimportant details to be honest

[@nevisnebis1207]

@@ya8158 if there are any books that I would say to take with a grain of salt, it’s autobiographical content. It reminds me of how documentaries aren’t legally required to have any factual information, so they can be entirely falsified, which is a funny but annoying thought. Imagine a documentary about Desmond Tutu that said he was raised in Antarctica by panthers and was the world’s most influential prima ballerina
