Hi Rooti, thanks for your comments and it's great to see that you put the work in! Another customer is currently translating IT into Spanish, so my suggestion is if anyone does translate it and kindly would like to make these available, email them to me and I'll include them in the package as standard with the appropriate crediting!
Regards the font embedding, I simply print to PDF in word and upload the PDF; I've never had any issues with having to embed fonts in the 8 years I've been using that printer, no one else has mentioned this to me either, but I suppose it simply depends on the PDF writer you use - thanks for mentioning it! I'll look into it myself! DC

Noooooooooooooo!!! I just got back from working away in time to discover that I missed the introductory offer. Let's be honest it's still under-priced at the full price but that doesn't take the sting out of missing out due to work getting in the way.

What was the introductory offer? It's only £35 or $55.

@itsmagic; for the first 24 hours I put it up at £25 to encourage lots of early sales so that plenty of people could review it! As the others have said above,
I think £35 is a really good price for what you get! DC

Personally I don't think £35 is a good price for this at all, I think it's an insane price. Forget the book test itself it is worth more than that just for the templates and covers etc. Sure such templates and tutorials are available for the sites that let you do the printing but let's be honest, how many of us have thought of using those sites to create a book test and never gone beyond thinking? Yes my hand is raised! With this package you can have a book ready to ship in a matter of minutes and suddenly that book test you always had in you seems so easy that it's hard not to get your backside into gear. Of course if you don't feel you have your own book test in you then you can just print this one as is and be ready to go at a price you would struggle to get a single book test from anywhere else, let alone an "as many books as you fancy" book test.
As to the book test itself it's almost impossible to review because it's almost anything you want it to be. Ok unedited, unchanged, it's a decent book test, not just your simple pick a word test. However it's impossible to criticise it because let's say I was disappointed that it doesn't have x, y or z feature, well a few edits and it has those features for not even a penny more, ah but I like my flashback books ... Not a problem, make it do that if you want to make it do that, ah but I don't like the word selection (hypothetically, I'm not saying I actually don't like them) no problem, change them to ones you do like. In essence there is nothing this book test can't do providing you can think of a way (or know a way) to make a book test do that. Don't get me wrong, you don't have to change a thing, but why wouldn't you when this package allows you to make it the perfect book test for you? Now onto a big big, actually massively huge advantage of this book test, imagine this, have the spectator tear out a page, have several spectators tear out pages and do a page test. Who in their right mind would let people tear up an expensive trick book? That must be a cheap book from the charity shop/thrift shop/yard sale or wherever else you picked it up, hey for the price of say moabt 2 I can get around 50 copies of this book, maybe more $4 a show? I'd suffer that if I'm getting paid, one book could last several shows if you are only having 1 or 2 pages torn out, that's 50 cents a show ..... Food for thought. My bottom line is if you are a fan of book tests the only reason not to get this is that your name is Larry Becker, Ted K, Looch, Atlas Brookings, Vicent Heydon, Iain Dunford, etc etc, basically if you are already quite comfortable creating and printing your own book tests then by all means give this a miss, otherwise you owe yourself this product.

Dee, that is great, I will review the French package that I made(the interior, both Word and PDF, the covers, the cheet sheet) and will send it to you.
About the fonts, I also first made the PDF from within Word, making sure I included all fonts, but it did not uploaded correctly to the web site. I then used PDF Factory Pro (as a printer), didn't worked either. Reading the forums about this self publishing website, it seems to be a common issue. I am with Windows 8 and Office 360. Using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC was the way to go for me. Very smooth and then no problem uploading the file. But this is a 300.00$ US software. So after the trial period is over, I will check with Open Office. Those who use it have reported in the forums that it works well with this specific self publishing website. So there is a fix for this issue and it can be easily overcomed. Hope this will help others that may run into this problem if they try to edit. The French version I will give you is totally compatible(PDF file) so people will not have problem with it if they don't need to edit. There was no issue at all with the covers, even though I had to change some of the fonts inside Photoshop, as the ones used in your originals were not all part of my font list. But it did not triggered anything when I uploaded. I think this is a great concept. I am now thinking about using the same principle to come up with comic books for younger audiences. |

I have now received a French translation of the book test - I'm going to put this into the package as an expansion thanks to the generous Roger Otis; it's great to see that the people buying into this project are almost making it an "Open Source" style idea. I might have to look into creating a page where buyers can upload and download their edits and ideas!

Dee has been so kind to us lately. What is going on??? First the insane magiccafe deal for a bunch of his books and videos, now the PYO book test. I just got the actual book printed and it looks awesome. What makes this cool is that this is not just a pick a word trick, its so much more. The covers are normal, if you have seen books in the Creepypasta or horror story genre you will find that they looks just the same. The only thing that I personally did not like as much were the images. Not often does a book contains images, it would also be cool if we can reveal the actual image. But these are by no means drawbacks or complaints because you can simply edit them and customize them all you want. For the price of the product this is a steal. Awesome job sir!!

Rooti4 (and anyone else who is interested)- You can edit a Word Document quite easily in the FREE OpenOffice program, from www.openoffice.org (an open source project that is as good, if not better, than Microsoft's suite). You can then export the entire file as a PDF with the fonts embedded.

Thanks for the info Bob, I don't have word on my system. So open office should be ideal.
By failing to prepare, we are preparing to fail.

Ok so many people I respect are giving it the huge yeeeehaaaa I just ordered it
What I am thinking is I can finally add in some others books with my dopps for a very wild biblio bizarre build up...... I had 2 PKD themed effects I was working on and this seems an ideal solution And I can finally make "the grasshopper lies heavy" I bet I look forward to receiving this Aside: an idea before I get it - you can do Pegasus page, you can do transforming book pages and more with a few variations of books - a switch here and there and kablamo Oh yeah - oh yeah!!!! My mind reels with ideas I'll be back after I get it and make a few little projects and report back

Great deal pyo is great for giving you all the tools you need. You could do this yourself but this is soo much easier and a lot of work has went into this. Already thinking about how I can adapt it. Not read the other pdfs yet but I'm sure they will be great! Thanks again Dee.
There is no holy grail!
