# How to Print Your Book at Home

Print the home & screen PDF on your own printer on US Letter paper, trim each page to 8.5 × 8.5 in, and staple or bind it. Ready in an evening.

- **Result:** A home-made book
- **Good for:** Tonight, or extra copies

## Steps

1. Download the home & screen PDF.
2. Load heavy matte paper: about 32 lb / 120 gsm for the pages, cardstock or matte photo paper for the cover.
3. Print at “Actual size” (100%), centered, one page per sheet.
4. Trim 2.5 in off the long edge of each sheet so the page is 8.5 in square.
5. Stack the pages in order and staple along the left edge, or punch and tie them with ribbon.

## Tips

- Most home printers can’t print right to the edge, so expect a thin white border, or trim to about 8.25 in square.
- Print one page per sheet, or test one sheet first if you print double-sided, to check the ink doesn’t show through.
- Don’t use the print-shop PDF at home: its pages are 8.75 in wide and won’t fit letter paper.
