UPDATED on Tuesday and Wednesday April 22-23, 2025!
On Easter Sunday I finished this book (I think). It will be glossy hard cover bound (with photos – see below) at Grimm Book Bindery (just like the 40 Blessings book). Let me know if you’d like a copy made for you. Some small tweaks to it on Tuesday. Enlisted Grimm Book Bindery on Wednesday!
Since all the photos included are high resolution, the PDF file gets way too large … so I split it into three parts (so that the online PDF compress program would accept it – I don’t know what the max size is). And then I compressed it so it would be accessible to most people (about 2 mb for each part while they are about 100 mb each part before being compressed). But even the compressed version is great (and I can’t tell the difference myself). Of course, the book itself will be bound by Grimm Book Bindery as just one book (all the parts just combined into one book).
Full Book (compressed PDFs):
=> Part 1 compressed v5 (2.4 mb)
=> Part 2 compressed v8 (1.4 mb) (v8 had one tiny centering tweak)
=> Part 3 compressed v4 (0.8 mb)
Full Book (full file size):
=> Part 1 v5 Blackboard Mural Book (89.3 mb)
=> Part 2 v8 Blackboard Mural Book (111.9 mb)
=> Part 3 v4 Blackboard Mural Book (74.6 mb)
