that was the neolithic version carved on a stone tablet

Wow should be worth alot then lol. i like the binding on this one better. the plastic on my other one is cracking from being carried in heat of truck. Since im not very knowledgeable in this category i kept it in truck to help me evaluate bottles i would find while out and about. saved me from making some mistakes and helped me to find more desirable ones.

Looks great Matt, and looking forward to it. You're way ahead of me! I've just had too many things going on this spring to complete ours just yet. We're shooting for this fall now. So you went with the glued binding? Looks like a good move.

If you need any tips on doing a book I can tell you the mistakes I made.[;)]

I hate platic comb bindings , they fall apart if you use the book much.
Wire spiral isnt bad but my book is too thick to use it.
I went with the perfect binding, it seems pretty solid.
There is a huge variation in printing costs so you have to shop around a good bit.
I only need to sell 100 to break even [;)]

dont quote me but my goal was $30 post paid (book rate) for forum members.
I worked pretty hard to keep the cost low.

Hmm, 900 lbs. of stone tablets or what?... 5 books.
$30 a generous offer but you should ask a bit more. I bought RB from Doug directly and was very happy with the $40 price. Even a labor of love is still hard work.
I guess even with new technology the graphics are difficult. It's got to come out better than say, Shimko or the Wilson's earlier efforts.
Anyway, I'm in for a copy.
