Family Works to Share Grandmother’s Journals
Phil
Wolfgramm’s mother was a prolific personal journal writer. When she died she left
12 hardbound, handwritten journals chronicling her and her family of nine
children’s lives over a thirty year period of time.
“I
wanted to copy these journals for my children,” Wolfgramm explained. “But it
was really hard to try to copy even one book.” Then he found a directory
listing for Fullerton’s Book
Workshop, Inc.
The
six-year-old-company works with college professors, corporate trainers, and
self-published authors to produce custom printed books for a variety of
applications. Wolfgramm gave the company a call.
“We
do a lot of really interesting work,” company founder Teresa Shuff Trujillo
noted, “But I was a little surprised when Phil showed up with a tote box full
of his mother’s handwritten journals.” Trujillo
assured her new customer that they had the technology available to help him produce
and bind nine copies of his family heirloom. The journals are written in Tonga,
a Polynesian language.
Wolfgramm
hopes that his extended family will enjoy the books as well. Book Workshop will
make the book available purchase to his eight brothers and sisters and over 70
nieces and nephews.
“We
have a digital master of the books. We can make as many, or as few, limited
edition reprints as the family wants,” Explained Trujillo.
