Chapter headers and other interior graphics

May 12, 2020May 11, 2020 by Beth

I like the little extras. The things that make the interior of a book pretty. Little flourishes and things like that. I’ve seen some unbelievably beautiful interiors. I’ve seen utterly plain ones, too. Ultimately, the presence of graphics don’t affect how enjoyable a story is. But they’re nice. Even some… Read the rest...
