Book!

editors note... I discovered that the shipping rates for the book are a bit pricey so I lowered the book price to try to make up for it... hope that helps a bit!

Okay, I did it. I found a really awesome site called lulu.com that publishes for "free" (i.e. they only make money if people order your book, you make 80% and they make 20%). I checked out lots of info on the site and the people and they are legit, nice, and most of all they really are in it for the benefit of the artist/musician/author/etc...

So here's the skinny

What: maybe this time...
What2: a collection of poetry that spans the last ten years of my life
where: lulu.com (in keywords type my name, ANdrew ANderson to get to my storefront)
how much: $7.00 print (I make about $1 per book after printing costs and commission)
$1.08 download (because they don't take a commission then!)
why: because I thought it was really cool and... why not... it's easier than getting rejection letters.
is it cool: yes. I have an author photo on the back (ha ha) and a sweet looking cover that I designed myself.

Go ahead and download the preview if you wish... most of the preview poetry is on this blog site though... You can download a PDF version for about $4.50 (they base that price off of the price I charge for the print version) but that sounds a bit steep to me.

Okay... if you dare... go ahead and get yourself one... I'll even sign it for you for free if I see you on a regular basis (how cheesy is that?)

Okay, shameless self promotion over.

I get these daily e-mails from dictionary.com and they were plugging this contest. Thought you might be interested. I think you could win...(btw, if you are wondering who I am, I see you at CV and I speak French...)
