Austin, Texas citizen Karl Hébert has been living with his wife in France for a while and, well, they miss their families and their families miss them. So he did what everyone living abroad does: Fired up his Epson and put together an 8-page, saddle-stitched booklet, all from the comfort of France. The booklet includes “A message to the fam letting them know everything is A-OK, a chart showing the things we miss the most in order of less missed to most missed, and a cute little poem my wife wrote about Big Texas thunderstorms.”

While we regularly feature larger print runs here on FPO we are not beyond celebrating the home-made, especially if it gives anyone here some ideas of their own. Plus, in my experience, saddle-stitching by hand is far more challenging than putting it through a bindery machine, and it looks like Karl is pretty good at nailing that staple right through the middle. And you have to love the rough silkscreen effect on the illustrations.
