Front cover of "The Sbuirrels, Vol. 2: The Wound Collection," by Michael Jacoby, now available on Amazon KDP.

I started this year's summer vacation early, so it seems fit that I should end it early. So, as I repeatedly promised, here is the book collection of all issues from last year related to "The Wound."


The most difficult part of this book's creation was submitting it to Amazon KDP. I mean, the paperback manuscript. The eBook version was accepted without issue, but Amazon kept on rejecting the paperback version because some of the manuscript's material was displayed past the margin and would risk getting cut away when it was printed.


I wasn't sure what was wrong at first, even after consulting the KDP Community forum. I tried expanding the file's margins to be 0.375" all around and it was rejected again. After some thought, I decided to copy the die-recreated pages' respective image boxes, paste them, reshape the image box to the page size, and fit the image in the box proportionally. It worked.


As for the cover pages of the die-recreated issues, I did the same process, and additionally copied the smaller version of the cover, arranged it to the back, and shifted it behind the main smaller one so that everything would look less like an obvious copy-and-paste job.
