    Nope, but I did have that experience for the first time last year — buying a double cover out of the 3 for a dollar box!

    I like the covers a lot and don’t mind keeping them until they explode

    An even more disturbing question - what percentage of books submitted are being pressed for the 2nd/3rd/4th time?

    Half...??? ok, ok 25%
  18. divad
    or just more fun!

    does anyone just submit books the old-fashion way? or does everyone go through CCS first? (clearly, a redundant question.)
  20. divad
    oh boy, i sure miss the good ol' days
  21. divad
    because we can't even sell them raw . . .

    just for perspective here's what it's supposed to look like:

    you guys are unbelievable - great work!

    you need to think about the larger overall ramifications of an e-mail like this being sent subscriber-wide, and what it implies about their end-product.
