"Tourmaline" - The Book
louisev:
I have it all in camera ready print-ready format now, and managed to get it trimmed to 344 pages through creative use of margins.
Unfortunately, however, I have had a rather poor sales showing on the print book and will have to severely restrict the number of print copies in the first run simply due to a lack of sales. And I do mean severely.
If anyone is waiting for the book to be printed before buying it, now would be the time, because the number of paid pre-orders will determine the size of the print run. And it's silly to print only 10.

344 pages, that's still a very nice number!
I love reading 'big' books. :)
Sorry to hear about the poor sales, it ain't right. :-\

I know, I know. At this point I have to decide if I am really going to make a 10 copy press run or not. I need to print books for those who have bought them, but since no one has really said anything about it in the fandom, and I am not going to go around blowing my own horn, then very few people know about it.
louisev:
Okay I am making a 50 copy press run.
I'm toying with the idea of making 10 hardcovers as well. But those COST $25 to print. So I'm going to hold off for now. And it is going to press FRIDAY.
louisev:
Here are the covers! This thing is going to press today.
