I don't think it is. The pricing I mentioned is for going through with
the distributors plan. That is, we're setting wholesale price at $15, so
not sure what it'll end up being retail (we can set a price, but who
knows if it'll stick).

So do I, but I also would really prefer color pages. Apparently the two

confirm that that'd be cool.

My plan I emailed a day or two ago called for an 8.5" square paperback
