I don't know about Europe, but here in North America it's relatively cheap to go to an instant printer, (Kinkos, Staples etc.) and get a PDF printed and bound. I just did a 800+ page PDF-MySQL book. Cost $60 CDN. That's with a plastic circulux binding and covers. Quite durable. Print on Demand (POD) is everywhere! Getting published isn't that difficult. -- Steve +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Saturday Mar 06 2004 09:41:02 AM EST +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Such a fine first dream! But they laughed at me; they said I had made it up.
