I thought I could not do mini books but one of my friends helped me to do books. What I like about mini-books is the design of mini books. My thought was I cannot do good design, then I thought and thought and thought and I got many many and many designs in my mind and I made it. I feel happy about my designs and that I made it. I felt my designs were colorful and beautiful.
They made a mini book and wanted to sell the books

They made books, they sold few at a higher cost, were given the feedback “expensive”. That re-worked on cost and discovered that they need to figure out many things!
