4 Big book

Introduction
In this module we will learn how to create a big book using Bloom.

We will continue to use the new Basic Book template (even though there is an old template for creating a Big Book). With the Basic Book template we can create a large book and also the same book in A6 format from a single file. In fact, it is easier to start with the A6 book and then print it at A4 landscape.

What will you do?

  • We will first create a new A6 book.
  • Then we will publish it in simple A4 format.

4.1 Creating a basic A6 book​

  • Start Bloom
  • Create a Basic Book (see Chapter 2)
  • Check the page size is A6
  • Edit the book

4.2 Complete the book as desired​

Fill in

  • the cover
  • the title page
  • Add the pages
  • Add text
  • Change the images
  • Fill in the credits page.

4.3 Publish - Simple option​

To print it as a Big Book, you publish it using the Simple option on A4 paper.

To make an even bigger Big Book, you can photocopy it onto A3 paper.
