You can try one of those web-base self-publish companies. The prices are quite good for one-off printing.

You could also take it to kinkos for printing and then bind it yourself. There is an episode of Reading Rainbow that shows how to do it.

AuthorHouse
Llumina Press

I'm not sure if either one of those can help, but they're both self-publishing...to what I know of. o.O

Eric, Eric ... Eric ... I feel I can call you that ... 'cause its' your name.

You are right in some respects insofar as wanting to punish DigiCamMan for his suggestions. As to the method suggested ... nay, not so much. A stern spanking is in order for sure ... as one must never 'run' in a bookstore ... its' uncouth.

But to answer your query ... no, I think I would have to pass on the purchase of your, as yet, unpublished works. You see Eric ... my allotted budgetary expenditure towards tomes for this upcoming year is almost depleted. And I am eagerly awaiting the sequel to "The Mouse Who Didn't Like Cheese." (Pre-press copies have met with rave reviews ... I can't wait!)

So, Eric ... in a word, and reiterating ... no.

And since I do feel like I know you to some extent, albeit, in the short time that you have been with us ... I know that you will appreciate my candor in the matter you have put before us.

Have a nice day and good luck with your endeavours in the literary world. :o)

I won't buy it but I'll be happy to accept an Advance Readers Copy. If you don't know what that is go to your local Barnes & Noble & ask a KNOWLEDGABLE salesperson.

Or else we'll probably all upchuck it !
