The Return of Wanikani 四字熟語

The book is shaping up:

Still lots of errors in the text though!

Please, can anyone who is interested in this print out a single page on A4 paper, then fold it, and then see if it all fits ok and does not hit folds?

This is an American paper version. I will make an A4 version if I need to. :slight_smile:

Also, keep submitting yoji if you would like! \(^-^)/

I am doing lots of finishing edits today.

Aye, I only have A4, I’m afraid.

Well, then print out a single page of this one in A4, and tell me if it fits and if the folds hit anything.
Fold in half one way, in quarters the other. Unfold, then see how close to text the fold lines hit.

Also, since there is space on the left hand pages, there will be one-word English definitions of each kanji.

If anyone is interested in helping, my content is below. I added quick one-word definitions of most of the kanji, except where obvious. If anyone wants, they may check for errors. There may be some better 音読み choices for some of them too. I will do a little reordering for the final book.

Also, @Leebo, you are the only person to appear in a legendary sense in any of these yoji. It is up to you if you want me to remove them or leave them in. Here are the ones that include your name:

{小食大犬 }{しょうしょくだいけん}{Small bite for a big wolf, getting Leeboed }{RoseWagsBlue}{small meal big dog}

It’s fine, I don’t have any issue with it.

“Leebo’d” is the spelling. :slightly_smiling_face:

The problem is that my 's are not typesetting correctly. I don’t want another rabbit hole to fix something. So I am avoiding ’ .

My source reads:

Ah, Shakespeare was always pretty loose when it came to spelling. :stuck_out_tongue:

Finally found the chance to do this. The text at the bottom of the page runs over the fold.

Thank you so much for this! I will ultimately have two versions then, one for A4 paper, and one for letter.
I have LaTeX code than makes the pages into tiny PDF pages, then several other pieces of code that arrange 16 little pages on a sheet in the right orientation. But there no way to tell how things work in the real world with real paper.
ありがとございます

I am done. The links for downloading and printing either A4 or Letterpaper are in the top post.
There are things I would have liked to perfect with the code, but I have other projects to work on.
If you print and bind one, post pictures! I will finish a bound one this weeks. :slight_smile:
