Are you ready to make a book but you’re not sure where to start? BookWright’s book templates and layouts are a great place to start your book. Blurb’s BookSmart allows up to 5 text styles. Select “Customize Styles” from the pull down menu when the text box is highlighted. Define the font style, size, color, and any Bold/Italics/Underline you may want. Once these are defined, all you have to do is select “Body” – or whatever style you want – when adding text. Blurb BookSmart is a free application with which you can make an entire book manually or using the assistant tool. It is composed of four simple steps: select the size of the book, a template design, the title, and the pictures that you wish to include.
