Romance on a Budget: Write a Book

June 17, 2010 by Lori Mitchell

I wanted to share another buying online drugs gift idea for your special somebody. Lulu.com offers the opportunity to self publish a book. It can be done privately, so that it is only visible to you and only available for purchase by you.

My late boyfriend Richard was an avid hunter. He grew up hunting. He was also impossible to buy gifts for, so I always had to be creative. One Christmas I gathered all of the hunting photos of him that I could get my hands on. Some of them were when he was a little boy and was out hunting with his father and brother. Then I gathered recipes for the game he hunted. He mostly hunted duck, dove, goose and deer. So, I sent emails out to friends and posted on message boards and collected some interesting recipes. Finally I wrote a really mushy dedication to him.

I went to Lulu.com and put together a book. It was an incredibly simple layout. This site is idiot proof. I started with the dedication, and then alternated pictures and recipes on each page. I ended up with a 100 page book. I had it bound in hardback form, titled it. I can’t remember the exact price, and it was a few years ago, but I do know that with shipping and everything it was less than average cost of cialis $25. A paperback would be even less.

I also know people who have made photo books, collections of letters, collections of memories, even collaborative writings. You are only limited by your imagination. Such a personal gift will touch the receiver in ways that we can’t even imagine.
