to "print on demand books", just printing a copy on a cheap <BR>>> laser
printer and using relatively cheap plastic binders. This way

trick is to <BR>>> balance the value to you so you get paid for all your
work, and still <BR>>> make it inexpensive enough that it is not worth
someone's time to go <BR>>> around your copyright. Frankly though,
a PDF is invaluable to some <BR>>> of us since we can have it with us on

we had <BR>>>> basically shelved the publication, all copies gone,
