Chapbooks

Chapbooks are small publications of up to 40 pages maximum and are usually produced quite cheaply for small print runs only.

Viva Djinn currently has six chapbooks available though, currently, they are sold at events only. Five are collections of short stories by David Viner and the sixth is a collection of poetry called Stowaways by Linda Atterton.

They have been produced using a normal colour laser printer with a duplex (double-sided) facility with the outside cover then laminated to make them long-lasting. Consistent stapling has been achieved using a hand-built template which holds the untrimmed paper steady. This can be seen below.

They are finished off by trimming them to size using a multi-page, self-sharpening paper cutter.
