Alas, I had already sent the book off for publishing when that picture was generated.
edit: I maintain there is a very strong message in your decision making there.

It was brought to my attention that this seems like a joke. Although the book is silly, it is a real book, and that is a real ISBN, and you can really buy it. Hope this clarifies it.
|
You should've posted this in your blog, so it could be the start of the second volume.

Wouldn't be as effective since it wouldn't be until like volume 3 or 4 if you look at the numbers :p

Why wouldn't I? It's free, easy, and has not been done before so it is kinda creative. Offense taken hardcore.

Whoa, so your name is Micronesia Smith?

does the book include color pictures of all the asian women?
*nvm* B&W images

Poor Yubee, immortalized on the back of a softcover forever.
Would you actually make money if this sold well? What's the cut of profits like...? Initial investment?
Seems to me if the profits are split nicely, this would be a decent way for unknowns to publish a book of poems or something to start a writing career off... I may be interested in that.
Picture of a typical page from the inside of the book? IE Print quality check...
+ Show Spoiler +I'm not going to buy this though... I'll just wait until someone pirates it and put on the internet... I guess that's meaningless though, considering it's already on TL in Blogs 
EDIT: Hmm... I read through it a bit :O Pretty cool... But I think you set the list price badly... you'll have to pay them 76 cents per book sold if I did my calculations right... Unless you went with their pro account... In which case you'll have to pay them 5 dollars a year, but you'll profit a bit on sales.

rofl at someone pirating my book
Regarding pricing and all that... the author chooses the list price, which is at least the cost that amazon+publisher charges. The royalty is the difference of the list price and the cost to the publisher+Amazon. Head over to www.createspace.com to learn the details. The cool thing is how it's free to get started, and you just upload some pdf's and they publish it for you. The only cost to the author is the purchasing of a proof (sold at-cost) for review before release to Amazon and the private store.
If you want to see the quality of the book, then you'll just have to buy one from me or another... although I showed the book to a few people including my dad who were all impressed by the quality given the circumstances... so it is pretty good at least.

The funds go into the production of the book. There are no profits due to the low list price lol.

Originally I wanted to do that, but I figured I'd need to get permission, and the formatting was a pain to carry over into a book tbh.

damnit! I wish I would have commented more in your blogs. Anyway cool idea. I didn`t notice that you blogged that much on tl.net to create a book wow.
|
Too lazy to read into createspace atm. But it looks like you can make a whole softcover book for 3.59 and shipping? Seems superior to Kinkos for long reports, and cooler looking :o
|
Awesome. I bought one. lol.~
|
LOL sick. Good work. I think it'd be nice keeping it like a highschool yearbook.

So wait this thread made me think of something. Is anything posted here technically belong to TL.Net? So if some one writes up a story and posts it here. It's not long their story. It's TL's...?

I don't think so. If it is your own post it belongs to you i guess.

yeah but if you're including responses by other people, it's property of TL.net (see the copyright at the bottom)
thus if we wanted, we could probably sue micronesia for copyright infringement, because its more than just his blog posts.
but we won't, because we probably would be awarded $6 million and we don't want another Spartan thread about that.
(or we won't because the profits are negligible)

Lol buy the book and you will realize that it is not including the responses... only the initial blog posts. Also, I told Kennigit you can have 100% of the profits.
edit: although I think you would be legally required to request me to remove the book from the market.... unless you paid lawyers a lot of money, your copyright doesn't entitle you to money initially... but this goes into the nitty gritty which I lack knowledge of.

I don't think it's his area of expertise... especially since he suggested suing for copyright infringement based on literature that is not already registered legally. Again I admit I haven't studied it, but I recall reading that you need to spend some money in order to be able to 'go after' someone for stealing your work. But the purpose of simply putting a 'copyright so-and-so' message on a website etc is to make it clear that you will request any violators remove or take down their work. If the violators refuse, then I'm not sure how the law continues... but if tl ever asked me to stop something like that, I would obviously stop. But I am fairly sure it won't be necessary since the whole purpose of the book was to be funny/fun for the tl community, and there is no profit.

Sneak into a library with your books and slip them in various shelves.
Or you can donate them.

Does it include Go or bowling? I would have bought it... but then I saw Times New Roman.
Haha, just kidding.
TL should auction this off like the CJ shirts.

Yeah haha. First I said something like 'mine takes full damage from tanks' and then he responded with that.... but his sounds better stand-alone so I guess he'll end up with the credit.
|
which volume would this post be in?
|
he listed all the people that posted even once , in his blog list
basically listed all his blogs word for word
then his blog view list
and a random Shakespeare excerpt at the end
worth the $3 i suppose; serves as a reminder of TL for me i guess
basically if you just click "blog" on micronesia(he has quite a few) then look up the first act of Shakespeare you have the book in it's entirety :O
As a side note, i would have appreciated a lot more personal coments, etc.
felt copy pasted 
However! back cover was fun.
(which i now noticed is in your OP...
yeah...can't see that one image with the sun )

When someone lies and says you did something you didn't, when you accuse them of it, you can get money if it was slanderous or whatever... but luck getting paid for it lol

Just a bump.
I followed through and bought one of these. It made its way all the way to my bed today. (mom checked mail and threw it on my bed. ).
It's awesome lol.
Anyone that hasn't ordered this yet should definitely do it.
