So, I'm going to be working on the book starting today.

I had 3 votes for a 10x8 hardcover, 6 for a 7x7 hardcover, and 3 for an 8x10 softcover.

After thinking about it a bit more today though, I'm thinking it's about an even split between larger books and a smaller one - I'm guessing the cost was a bit of the decision maker there? I much prefer a landscape orientation for the book just due to my own photos mostly being landscape orientation.

So now I'm thinking that I could do a 10x8 photo book that is available in both hardcover (~$85) and in softcover (~$65)  instead. It turns out I can make the 10x8 softcover for the same amount as a 7x7 hardcover - but the larger size is preferable I think? I'll likely raise the price when selling to people not signed up here, but these would be the prices for anyone on patreon. But I'm interested in seeing what you think.

It’s as much shelf space for me - softcover books are normally more compact so easier to find a home for.

I'm going to do a hard and soft covered version in the 10x8 size. So they won't be too tall (often a problem with photo books - they're so tall!).
