I was wondering when you were going to do this kind of thing. 
Seemed a waste not to put your blog to good use.

And this thread will be useful for people to point out the mistakes and typos (once they've bought and read it). Did I mention the digital download version is about the price of a drink?

Now if I paid Taion to say that he'd bought a copy and found the quality to be superb, Taion - if he failed to disclose the payment - would be a shill.

I'll start worrying about this thread when it reaches 152 pages.

I had considered approaching Rancho to do some kind of promotional deal, like giving away a bean with each copy.

I myself am awaiting delivery, as it was only completed a couple of days ago (I had aimed for end of December, but whoops). Many paper and binding choices are offered, including publisher trade paper. In order to be eligible for distribution through certain outlets - Amazon, for example - the product needs to meet minimum standards, so I chose a higher grade of paper and so on. That, of course, accounts for the cover price, which is higher than I'd intended. It's about a dollar more than Zagat's list price, but it has to be - I don't anticipate doing Zagat's volume on the first edition.
Lulu does seem to be far and away the dominant vendor of online publishing services, which makes me hopeful the product won't be crap.
ETA: I might mention that if the product really is unsatisfactory for some reason or other, I can actually change specifications. This is one of the many advantages of not printing in bulk.

I could see you as the next NYT restaurant critic.
Wouldn't that be sweet?
