It doesn't really show in this picture, but those aren't glued on labels; that's a window I cut out of the cover.

After burning out three home printers, just from the volume I was printing, plus the other problems I kept having with them, I decided professional printers were the way to go.

After all sorts of home printer issues, I have given up. When I need a textblock to make a book, I have a local printer do the printout. If I give them a single file with the imposed signatures for 10 books the price is quite reasonable. (Do NOT go to FedEx!)

I like the idea of turning people loose with the music -- no biographies or backstories. All my favorite pieces are here, but I'm not telling anyone what they are.

It's now up on Etsy. The full list of composers/compositions is on a companion website, and I’m adding links to recommended recordings as I go. It’s very much a long work in progress — but June is done!

Thanks! Working on them keeps me entertained. I do have a long to do list.

I have a few open source classic novels available on my website and in my Etsy shop, CGM Bookworks. I'm working to add more but it's weeks to edit and structure each book (longer if there are illustrations).

Always reread with "The Wheel of Time Companion" close at hand.

Right there with you. In my case, it's people agitating for me to finish a textblock so that they can make their favorite novel. Yes, Pride and Prejudice is on my list, just give me another month, or two, or three.
