FREE ≠ BETTER all the time...

Good news: Book was finished Friday and looks great.
Bad news: The "unlimited printing press" system is not full-proof.

Thanks to a new system at Washington & Lee University where my mom works, the number of how many prints and copies are made is now recorded by computer, not department. So, the plan of sneaking into my mom's office building and printing 8,000 full-color pages has a few glitches. Today, my mom and I were able to go around to her colleagues' computers (I am being carted off to jail as I type this, I swear...) and print about 15 copies, or 600 pages of full-color glory...

...when the ink drum decided to go dry. I must carry bad luck because these drums last for several weeks in her department, and go figure it was on 2% when we got there! We squeezed out as many as we could that looked good, but our initial plan to print off 150 copies to sell at JMU and 50 copies to send to Albert's mom for distribution in Lynchburg, VA, is currently foiled.

NEW PLAN: Instead, my mom is going to slowly-but-surely print off these pages throughout the week and use the free shipping benefit of her department (random perks you don't think about until times like these) and ship me 15 to 20 copies worth each day for me to put together and bind into a nice-looking format.

So, everything will work out to keep overhead costs at nearly zero for printing, but this new snag in the operation will slow things down a bit. Nonetheless, we should be able to facilitate purchases all week as we work at our various locations. Here's where you can find us this week:
