Bill Owen wrote:Me too but I don't think I can attach the maps to fold out... so it would just be a case of sticking them in there. I guess that could be a special option.The giant (11x13") print-on-demand book option allows you 40-page increments so once I added 5 pages I was into my 2nd 40-page block. So I figured that the maps would add another way to experience the maps... that would be more convenient than a giant map is.
mbassoc2003 wrote:Or, POD the book without the map. Leave the inner leafs of the hardback blank. Then you could print the maps full-size through say Cafepress, stick thenm both in a pocket in the back, and even print a dustcover if you wish, and assemble the SE yourself. Buyers could buy through Lulu, or buy a SE edition through you direct.

MERREAD305...and it says eligible also for free shipping!Here's their boilerplate: Use coupon code SUMMERREAD305 at checkout and receive 10% off Judges Guild's Bob & Bill, A Cautionary Tale. Maximum savings with this promotion is $10. You can only use the code once per account, and you can't use this coupon in combination with other coupon codes. Sorry, self-purchases (buying books that you've published) aren't eligible. This great offer ends on June 30, 2010 at 11:59 PM so try not to procrastinate! While very unlikely we do reserve the right to change or revoke this offer at anytime, and of course we cannot offer this coupon where it is against the law to do so. No progress on the big coffee table version yet. I am in the throes of putting together tour documents for summer season so with 92 out the door Sunday to Alaska, I'm now burrowing into preparing 21 sets of personalized documents for Ireland. Next 17 people on http://www.tourofbattle.com which only a wargame could love... but we also have a daughter of a wwii vet, retired guys, vets, a 3-generation unit including triplets and Al Nofi!
