   The eenie Mimi & Eunice row can match a tidier bind for show

   Seeing as how Nina wants to give contributors even more than they bargained for, and in reply to the update she put up about the book's binding process, may I suggest that the agreement terms be filled in with perfect bound? Also, any extras can be given in the cheaper stitch to maximize the extras.

   Who the hell is going to pay when they can get these strips for free? I mean, just because more than $3000 was raised doesn't mean squat! Think of the key grips and their families, damn it!!!!
   
   It's nice to see stories like this pop up when idiocy like PROTECT IP shows up.
   
   Perhaps someone should ship several (if not all) of these books to our government?

   Agreed, assuming they would read and understand it.
   Likely, most would end up in the landfill.

   Does that make children a derivative work?

   The above comment is mine - sorry - didn't realise I wasn't signed in - wish it would remind me before I post a comment - rather than just after...

   Right now it looks like I can get at least 10,000 minibooks printed, thanks to a printer/supporter offering print services at cost, along with everyone's generous contributions. The books will be perfect-bound, too! A bumper crop of minibooks for everyone.

    Free does not pay so well. Can we have your money to fund our propaganda?
    
    That would not be investing in innovation that would just be passing money around, broken windows all around.

    Me neither. The splinters are painful and often in a very awkward place.
    
    As for the ebook... I assume your mouse has some sort of righthand side button...

    I pledged but was a bit disappointed to see it tied to Amazon. Is kickstarter tied to amazon for payments or just Nina? I've never used Kickstarter before so I am genuinely curious.

    I put my toilet paper in the safe. I have, at times, even gone so far as to frame one or two.

    I believe Amazon is Kickstarters preferred payment service as last time I donated to the Musopen project it was also funded through Amazon.

    Nice persona you have there. Would you like some more whine with your cheese?

    I'm not whining. I just don't find her comics to be funny or insightful. I agree with most of what Mike says on this site...I just think Nina's stuff is pretty poor. I apologize if that makes you hurt inside.
