On Pricing Books | Comic Bits II
https://hoopercomics.wordpress.com/2012/02/29/on-pricing-books
Just another WordPress.com weblog. On February 29, 2012. I have just finished editing and have now uploaded a 20 pp book on lulu.com ready for publishing but I’ve just hit the big snag. See, I can buy a copy of the book for myself at 1.55. Not bad? Well, the postal service lulu uses means the cheapest rate is 2.99 so the book will actually cost me 4.54. So those 20 copies will cost 52.99. So I have to work out how how a copy I can charge. So, say, 53.00 divided by 20 and that’s 2.65 a copy. You are comme...

Classical Comics Living Up To Its Name: AN INSPECTOR CALLS | Comic Bits II
https://hoopercomics.wordpress.com/2012/03/08/classical-comics-living-up-to-its-name-an-inspector-calls
Just another WordPress.com weblog. Classical Comics Living Up To Its Name: AN INSPECTOR CALLS. On March 8, 2012. By J B. Priestley. Even now, after many years, the ending still hits me. Although re-named Poole (? For the film, in the original play, the Inspector’s name was Goole perhaps British censorship thought that was too much like Ghoul! I am glad to say that in this adaption the name Goole stands. And what an adaption by Jason Cobley this is! But let’s not give Cobley a swollen head. I certainly ho...

Blerr De Blerr Blerr. Tuesday, 18 October 2011. The FUTURE is here! Well, it has been a while since I last posted. While I was going to let sleeping dogs lie and use my current geographical shift to depart from the debate surrounding Union Terrace Gardens, the dogs have woken up, and in a fit have turned around and bit the good people of Aberdeen, and indeed anyone with any aesthetic or cultural sense firmly in the ankles. Yes, dear reader, the Future is here! All images borrowed from STV Local. So if yo...
