A few more quotes came in today for the book printing, these much more in line with the Morris quotes but still not as cheap. It seems 1000 copies is the magical number at which 200 page books start to fall into the $3 range. Don't get me started on why we take a book for which we pay $3 to print and price it at $15. I'll go into the economics of the book industry another night. I've read some things about Amazon's "Advantage" program that might be cause for concern, but for now I hope it's the isolated ranting of disgruntled self-published authors, venting their frustrations to the net at large.
Dropped off the carcass of our winged invader at the rental office this morning and had a talk with Norm, the complex handyman. Norm has been around the place longer than we have, and we pre-date the rest of the office staff. He promised to spray around the outside and place wasp traps (whatever those are) in the likely crevices of the kitchen cabinets. We'll see what happens.
Finally finished reading The House With a Clock In Its Walls to Christina tonight. Earlier got in a viewing of the season premiere episode of Six Feet Under. It's still as freaky and wonderful as ever. Hey, HBO: when does the first season come out on DVD?
