@Tex thanks for that, I'll check it out. Although I was looking forward to building a l'il fort with unsold books.

@Darrin thanks!

Nice list! Planet of the Apes surprised me as well!! I dig the (4th Dr.) playet as well! That's the only Doctor I ever watched in regard to the series, although my cousin is nagging me to watch the newest series.

Good luck on the publishing. I will be eagerly reading about your endeavors, as I've got an iron in the fire in regards to writing as well.

If you go the self publish route, go with Lulu.com. I've long since lost count of the number of books I have from them. Whether it be pulp reprints, Altus Press' new Doc Savage novels, or Robert E. Howard reference books, Lulu does 'em up reeeal good.

They also handle publication in different formats--hardcover, trade paperback, paperback, perfect bound, saddle stitched, etc.

And, what with it being print-on-demand, you WON'T have to worry about having boxes of unsold books in your garage to schlep around to various conventions.

Looking forward to an even plaidier new year!
