Received my copy in the mail today. Lulu was lightening fast in filling my order. Thank you for putting this together and making it available. The people you interviewed, and the information they shared, are invaluable.

Hi Shannon, I just wanted to thank you for sharing your books for free, for me it´s quite impossible to get them ordered ( I live in Slovakia and the shipping costs are 2x the price of a book ). They were a great read, “Opening up” had me slackin´my work, I just had to read it at any cost :)
Keep up the good work !

“Het Jaar van de Maker” apparently!! How very bizarre! Here is an excerpt from it: “met rode wangen en licht openhangende mond had hij ingespannen gestaard naar de kleine aarden held die ombeurten geteisterd werd door rukwinden, een mini regenbuitje en hop het laatst zelfs door een vonkenregen.”

year of the maker

with red cheeks and an open month, was e staring intensly to the litle clay hero who was being teased by a whipping, a litlle bit of rain, and in the last a little bit of falling fire.

[...] Being a big fan of BME (when under the old management) I was thrilled to see that Shannon had compiled a book from all the archived interviews he did for BME (many of which have been removed from BME’s archives). I strongly encourage everyone that has mods to purchase a copy as there is a wealth of information in there, you can purchase a copy via Shannon’s Zentastic blog post here. [...]

I got mine today, but although it has your cover on it, the inside is something else!! “Het Jaar van de Maker” apparently!! How very bizarre! Here is an excerpt from it: “met rode wangen en licht openhangende mond had hij ingespannen gestaard naar de kleine aarden held die ombeurten geteisterd werd door rukwinden, een mini regenbuitje en hop het laatst zelfs door een vonkenregen.”

Cool :) I was thinking about their cost-per-page for color stuff, and figured that doing a big color photo book yearly instead of a normal photo album would be cheaper and higher quality!

I’m excited to see that the quality of lulu’s books is so high. You’ve inspired me so much that I’m using lulu to publish a poetry book for my book design class! Thanks for the tip–this will be a LOT better than hand-binding or stapling together a chapbook.
