And boy do I disagree. I think the device works nicely. But content of poetry aside, since everyone is entitled to their opinions, I bristled more at the production cracks. I wanted badly to defend our little operation. I don't think the critic realizes quite how DIY we are. There is no printer who could trim the edges (except the one sitting here hooked to my laptop), no designer, no editorial staff, no funding. Just me and a bone folder. I've tried trimming in the past with both a regular paper cutter and a rotary one, and since the books tend to be thick, they just get mangled. Anything more inustrial would take alot of cash. Besides, I like that homemade rough around the edges feel. It's the poems that we're here for.
*sigh* But any press is good press...
