Hey guys, love the episode. If you’ve got an episode coming up on typesetting. . . I really hope you talk about Vellum. It’s basically magic. They’re doing paperback AND e-book typesetting at the same time, now. You can literally typeset your book in fifteen minutes. And it looks really good. Anyways, I’m excited for an episode on copyrighting, because Jim, you rock at copyrighting.
