Deja vu

My first foray in publishing involved medieval technology--900 pounds of cast iron and handset lead type. My college writing teacher was from low-tech India, and all his books were produced using obsolete letterpress equipment and lots of hand labor. My partner and I had a lot of fun losing money on small-press poetry books we clanked off on the converted sunporch. But its hard to get the publishing "jones" off your back. And now, as you will see below, I am in full relapse, thanks to the generosity of Tim Brookes. We hope to follow the serialization of his book, The Driveway Diaries, with other books by regional authors. Much of this kind of high-tech publishing work, using web and email, is now outsourced, of course--to India.
