book

Back in March, I started working on a dead-trees collection of poems from p1k3 + some poems of CarolAnn's + some random stuff we wrote one night while drinking Jameson. My idea at the time was that it'd be less than 50 pages and I'd print a bunch of copies using a cheap print-on-demand source and mail them to people.

I made a few notes about the process here.

As it turns out, the document is more like 76 pages, and every time I've had a couple hundred bucks to spend it's gone for frivolous crap like rent and groceries. (All right, you caught me: I also bought booze. And concert tickets, on no fewer than 3 separate occasions. All flesh is weak.)

Anyhow, it's more or less done. You can buy a copy here for ten bucks. I'm calling this a 1.0 release, although properly speaking I think it's more of a final beta, since I'm going to put an excerpt on the back cover and might change the title. Content-wise it's done, and I've got a copy on the way for purposes of Really Seriously Final Proofing.

If anyone's interested, all the source files are available.

All original content on p1k3, unless otherwise noted, is released to the public domain.
