The printed picture book, read once more: a steadier strip, a quieter back cover, no blank pages
September 2026
A short release from reading the printed sample of The Ferry That Ran on Kites once more, page by page.
One steady strip. The things-to-find plate used to be as wide as its words and could slide left or right to dodge a face, so every page placed it differently and the words sat low in it. It now spans the same box on every page, flush with the cut line at the top, with the words centred between the cut and the plate's lower edge.
A quieter back cover. The back cover carries only the credit lines, in a small panel in the bottom-left corner. The story blurb that used to sit in the middle of the art is gone; it belongs to the story page.
No blank pages at the end. The binding rule padded the page count with the cover included, which left two empty pages before the colophon that no printer needed. The interior alone is now rounded to the binding's multiple.
Samples that stay. Marking an export as a sample now keeps it out of the export history's pruning, so a download card cannot vanish after three later builds.
Sample cards. A special with one sample shows it across the full row; two samples side by side keep their download buttons on one line.
Courses in the story's language, on the site. The three house courses that explained in German over English chapters were rebuilt to explain in English and replaced.
