They get to meet the author and have a story to tell their friends. You would want a link to your web page explaining who you are on the book. This could very easily lead to a deal with a publisher. You could put a counter on the page that shows how many hits you have had which would give the publisher more incentive to want to sign you. Xerox makes a printer that will print pdfs, print the cover, bind them and trim them in one long assembly line. I saw it when I was there 2 years ago. My point being you could get this done cheaper then you might think. I would be happy to help you hand them out should you choose this course of action.

I thought it needed a different ending, though. Would you be interested in turning one of these into a short film? Hey Mike, I just read “Cubicle Farm” and very much liked the writing.
