sample books

Tar Heel Reader http://tarheelreader.org/

This is a very ambitious list of books. I'm sure they will be greatly appreciated.

Did you check to see if there are any books on these subjects already in the Tar Heel Reader collection?

I suggest that you do one or two complete books first. That way you see the whole process start to finish.

A couple of things to watch out for when you do your sample books:
  • words per page - there isn't room for many words before they fall off the page.
  • finding pictures to match words - allow some flexibility on pictures. It can be really time consuming to find a specific picture that you need to accompany pre-written text.
  • start with pictures - it may be easier to find a series of pictures on a theme, then write or arrange the text to go with the pictures.
If your sample books work out like you plan, then you know how many you can complete.
