The next thing to do is choose the quotes I want to use. I found loads of quotes people have said about dogs and also loads of poems and short stories so I had no trouble finding quotes/anecdotes that I really like.

A really important thing to do was to make sure i could book-bind well enough to pull off binding the book myself. I have bound a few books in my time so wasn't too worried about being able to do it. And finally, working out HOW I was going to bind it, the layout and page ordering (including how i will print them images double sided and the right way round etc.)
