Question

Change photos for a new book after book printed

I completed a 200-page photobook and sent it to Blurb thrilled with the result.

Now I need to change about 20 photos and a few words and reprint the book again for somebody else.

Can this be done?  I'd really appreciate knowing how. My friend who is dying is keen for her mother to have a copy of the book. Rather than sending a copy of my book ( with me being the focal point), I want to change to include more photos and text of her. Which would be far more meaningful for her family. We did a 3000km bike ride together just a few months ago.

Any help is appreciated.

Can it be done ? Yes. And my ideas to do it would be this-

1) It is important that you have created a 'Saved Book Collection' in the Collection Panel with your book design, then-

2) Make a Duplicate of the 'Saved Book Collection'   ( [Right-Click] > [Duplicate Book]  )

3) Return to Library module View - Add the "more photos" to the 'Saved Book Collection-COPY' by dragging from the Library.

4) Open this 'Saved Book Collection-COPY' in the Book Module.

5) Add new pages, etc, with the photos on the filmstrip you added in Step#3

6) Send to Blurb
