I’m at Paramount Printing Company, Ltd. in Hong Kong right now and we’re printing the 1st 16-page “signature.” The press guys, thanks to Rick Gordon’s fine preparatory work, had the colors nailed when I walked in.
In the old days we made a lot of adjustments while on press, but now, with computer-comtrolled ink management, we’re getting colors correct right off the bat.
Here’s the final cover. Thanks for all the feedback on our choice amongst 5 versions. Over 200 people responded to our request for advice; this was the most popular, and our choice as well.
Rollin’, rollin’…
About Lloyd Kahn
Lloyd Kahn started building his own home in the early '60s and went on to publish books showing homeowners how they could build their own homes with their own hands. He got his start in publishing by working as the shelter editor of the

Shelter,
Shelter II (1978),
Home Work (2004),
Builders of the Pacific Coast (2008),
Tiny Homes (2012), and
Tiny Homes on the Move (2014). Lloyd operates from Northern California studio built of recycled lumber, set in the midst of a vegetable garden, and hooked into the world via five Mac computers. You can check out videos (one with over 450,000 views) on Lloyd by doing a search on YouTube:
