Lightroom book creating:

In todays society, Books can be classed as an old method of advertisement due to the social media that has expanded. However a book can be an artistic way of showing off your skills as a photographer and keep as a personal viewing of your achieved work.
I decided to experiment using Lightroom to create a pdf of my very own book. If you were to finalise your book in Lightroom you will still need to pay for it via blurb.

You can either manually create your book to have blank pages in between with single views, multiple views to control each page of the book.
You can control the page numbers, add boarders or headings and add text to your image. In my case i just wanted to demonstrate a simple picture book because with landscapes all you really need to focus on is the scenery. 
the process of creating the book you can control each title and move each title with an offset photo aligning tool

in Lightroom you can adjust boarders, add text to describe where the photo was taken or how it was taken. For example:

You can view the layout of your book in a basic form showing both pages per side

You can add boarders, control the size of your boarders and also add text information about your images

If you want to add colours to the background of your images you can select 'background colour' and change the hue to your desired pallet. You can also add a picture by dragging and dropping into the box shown in this image as a background image

Here are some examples i did using a wallpaper theme to my book with no boarders for a dramatic affect:

Simply add your images and you can control the layout yourself

The price of the overall book comes to $36 US dollars
