Dear Folks, I've been plugging away again putting the stories of my book into one document that I eventually hope to have printed out, spiral bound and sent to my family or anyone interested in it. But I have an idea that the whole manuscript is going to be too large for ordinary printouts and binding. I'm not even close to half through it and I'm up to page 112. Not only that but I have the feeling that by the time it's all finished, it could go into volume 2 and maybe volume 3. I really can't go along with that and the work that multi-books would entail. The thought that popped into my head tonight would be for me to just burn the entire book on a CD and mail it out like that. I'm really against it inasmuch as when someone would be reading through it and had to quit for the day, the next time they opened up the CD, they'd have to scroll down and find where they left off. But right now, I'm really considering it. I do know one thing and that is that everyone would have the opportunity to print the whole book out themselves and bookmark it after it's printed out. In addition, in the event that CD's would eventually become so obsolete that no one could access them, I would make certain that I would have a complete printout of the book in my office that could last for many, many years even if it weren't printed out on acid-free paper. I'm still struggling through the tunnel but I still see the light at the end of it. It's a monumental project. vee
