You Know What Part

"Let us think the unthinkable, Let us do the undoable, Let us prepare to grapple with ineffable itself, And see if we may not eff it after all." Douglas Adams

Isn't this just bloggin on paper?

This is a weird story on the NYT. Book sellers (such as Border’s) are beginning to offer publishing kits.

“It’s easy to publish your own book!” the “Borders Personal Publishing” leaflets proclaim. Pay $4.99. Take home a kit. Send in your manuscript and $199. A month or so later, presto. Ten paperback copies of your novel, memoir or cookbook arrive.

I’m a product of the “I have a novel in me somewhere” generation, but this just seems like the cheaters way out. Plus, this doesn’t get you promotion, just publication. An interesting idea though.
