Test Book Order

We made it down to the cities around eleven o'clock this morning and ma dropped me off at J's. We had to run in to town quick so she could check on some records but aside from that and a quick out for pizza with J's mom we spent all afternoon and evening working on our book. Guess what? It's finished! All the pages are done, the pictures, the poems, the cover art, the formatting, everything. We even sent away for a test copy of the hardcover. We couldn't get a dust jacket from lulu though, so we couldn't use our flap design with the author bios. It was expensive though, twenty-four bucks with the shipping just for the one copy. I think we decided if we want to print up a bunch of copies to sell at the convention in October we're going to go through comixpress and do a stapled spine paperback. They only cost two dollars and seventy-five cents apeice instead of twenty. It'd be much easier to make a profit that way. Too bad we don't have a real publisher ready to shell out all kinds of money on us. I think we need to find some investors.
