I guess you just cannot put in the real cover. Not sure why. So I traded a couple pages, and there is a terribly boring "cover" page with the title, subtitle and dates. Gotta look into better ways to solve this. The content of the actual /book/ is identical, but if you really need to get the pretty cover, I'll find someplace to post that file, and you can find a friend with Acrobat Pro to glue it onto the body files.

Now it has my name in place of "stevenhooberatgmaildotcom" and a better totally lame and generic layout and background. Most importantly, the economy sucks. I have talked to a dozen folks who will eventually buy the book, but not yet. So, if you want a print edition, but $65 is high, I added the previously internal-only black & white edition to the public store. Now you can pay $24.99 for either the PDF download or a real, printed book mailed to your doorstep. I have updated the Lulu storefront to be non-comical.

Not even sure how to fix that. I don't load new info for Lulu to publish the PDF and they are supposed to make it all pretty, so... I guess a call to tech support is in order. If anyone else gets that and it bugs them, tell me and I'll... do something. Maybe just send you a copy I'll make myself. Content is all the same, though. Just the cover is missing, apparently. Sigh.

I'm looking forward to reading it. FYI: I bought the pdf from Lulu. It's missing the front cover - there's just a white page. It makes quite the minimalist statement.

Others did the stuff to the side (and you should see the ones I wouldn't let on the cover at all (I'm not /that/ collaborative after all). Chris Nemeth did the "colonel" one. He's like that.

Good thing you didn't go with that one. How usable is a word that isn't pronounced ANYTHING like it is spelled? I look forward to reading it. Colonel Hoober?
