It's done. Had quite a learning curve, but I finally got the hang of Lulu's interface to do my best to make for the best quality possible for these books. Illustrations are still out of the question due to having color publications jacking up the cost into the 70s and black & white illustrations just feel wasted while some you can barely make out what's going on in them. However, I am delighted to see that the font changes turned out well for when different characters write the chapters, although there is a small spacing issue I could not fix between two of the chapters in the second book. It should not be too much of a distraction.
Took a long time, but I'm glad to finally have this done for all of you. To everyone who I never got back to regarding preorders, my sincerest apologies. I just wanted to make certain whether or not such things were necessary. All books are made to order, so preorders are completely unnecessary. You just purchase and they'll be on their way to your mailbox like any online purchase. To everyone who has been following me so far, thank you. I hope this was worth the wait.
