Thanks for sharing!

First, the book looks absolutely great. Truly amazing.

The limits you've hit when styling with Asciidoctor PDF is where I hope that HTML + puppeteer + paged.js (paged media) will help. It should allow you to do what you're doing in Sketch, but using web technologies. I'll be posting more about it in the weeks to come.

Cheers,

My book is finally done!

I'm still waiting for proof copies so it isn't out yet. asciidoctor-epub3 worked really well for the digital version with only minor caveats so all seems good!

As promised I wrote an article for Hackernoon covering the process I went through to produce the print version with side by side screenshots and before/after PDFs for comparison. I left a lot of minor details out because it's really hard to explain details like dragging X here etc. If you have questions about the process I'd love to help.

Thanks!
