From Idea to Book
From the Series Start to Finish
How is a book made? A writer thinks of a story and writes it down. After a publishing company edits it, an artist will illustrate the story and a designer will put the two together on a computer. Then, the computer pages are turned into film that is sent to a printer to be turned into printed pages. The pages are cut and sewn together to make finished books that are shipped on trucks to stores for people to buy and read.

Reviews
Booklist
“Perfect for preparing very young children for an author’s visit or launching a classroom bookmaking project, this title stands out within the extensive Start to Finish series.”
— Booklist
Library Media Connection
“Author/illustrator Nancy Carlson and her recent book It’s Not My Fault (Lerner, 2003) are the unnamed subjects of this overly simplified introduction to the publishing industry. Readers follow the publication path from writing and illustrating to the book’s arrival in librarian and stores.”

“. . . useful as an introduction to student-made books. Both grade-level and reluctant readers may enjoy it in its curricular context.”
