Each link below goes to a pdf of pages of my grandfather’s poetry book, 3rd edition, published 1974.
C. H. Burwell: Poems 1974 ed.
3 PDF format – new as of March 2018
Use one of the above photo files and print just one side. It is the very first page and the last page. The graytone version has better reproduction of the photo of Charles Burwell but the background white is not as crisp. The b&w version has a nice clean white background, but the photo loses tonality. So it’s your choice.
2. chb 1974 double sided 24 bw comp
This chb 1974 file contains 24 pages, the remainder of the poems. They should be printed double-sided. The pages are not numbered, but the pdf pages are in order. The final pdf page “Eden School Days” is the middle two pages of the book. You can use the individual file names below as your guide for putting the book together.
3. Cover
Below is the cover, transparent, in jpeg format. Print it single-sided on card stock. of whatever colour you like. The 3rd edition, I think, was printed only in red.
Poetry Page Layout
So each file “page” is two booklet pages, stapled in the middle. The page numbers are in the file name. So 1-46 has 1 on the left side. The other side of that page is title-47 with the title page on the opposite side of page 1. They are arranged below in order for printing. Dimensions of the pages are 8 5/8″ width x 7 5/8″ height (19.5 x 22 cm).
You want the cover first, then “photo-48” (both only one-sided printing).
From there on, use double-sided printing for the rest of the pages. So, print “title-47” on one side of a page and “1-46” on the other. The file names with the smaller number first will be the page “fronts” when printed and those with the larger number first are the page “backs”. The indented files are the back side of the one listed above.
When you’ve made your pages, cut the excess off then fold. Use a long stapler to staple it along the middle. And there you go, Grandpa’s poetry book for you!
Individual page PDFs
(For now, I will leave the individual ‘page’ pdfs here. Each link is 2 pages of the put-together poetry book. Remember, the first two listed – ‘cover’ and ‘photo’ pages – are single-sided, the rest double-sided.)
