The front and back covers are uploaded separately. You can set the color for the spine, and text to appear on it (in either "Serif" or "Sans Serif" (looks like Arial). With my title I had a gradient on each cover to the spine cover, which I think looks pretty good.
You should take a look at my copy and my latex settings if you're interested in using lulu. |

Also, when you design your cover, does the width of the image depend on the thickness of the book? Otherwise, what goes on the spine of the book? |
| |
No, it was just a screw up, but apparently several people had the same problem around the same time. Their support is actually really nice; they refunded me my money *and* sent a free replacement.
One thing to watch, though, is that they stick a mandatory logo in the bottom center of your back cover, and it's black on white. |

Was there anything you changed to make it better for the next print, or was it just a fuck-up on their end? Just wandering if there's anything to watch out for if I submit stuff to them at a future date. |

Wow, with only 7 pieces you can form over 6000 combinations? How is that even possible in our universe?! |

At least Wolf's has an interesting concept which builds upon FVWM's theme. FVWM has no canonical form though it can be configured into countless states, much like tangrams. But all of these logos accurately represent the underlying idea of FVWM, namely that no matter how you set it up, it still looks like ass.

I've just been creeping around your site(s) and have had a bit of a giggle.
Thought I could return the giggle-favour?...

Personal favourite is a toss-up between:
"Any motorist who sights a team of horses coming toward him must pull well off the road, cover his car with a blanket or canvas that blends with the countryside, and let the horses pass. If the horses appear skittish, the motorist must take his car apart, piece by piece, and hide it under the nearest bushes" (Now there's a car incident to bitch about!)
or...
"It is illegal to sleep on top of a refrigerator outdoors"

Also please use scare quotes when referring to the busy beaver "function" or "sequence". |

The audience for my busy beaver shirt is small? But computation affects us all! Plus, it's all about the captions. |

I thought of more obscure t-shirts as well. But your target audience would be so small! |

The shirts are are all horrible. I did like the comment on the log shirt though. But seriously, what's so fucking special about the quadratic formula? I guess it's the most complicated thing that kids in high school these days have to memorize. I would probably buy a shirt with various representations (NOT approximations) of pi. Or how about the first few members of the busy beaver sequence? Caption: On one side, "Get busy." On the other, "Got beaver?" |

Damn Tom, that sucks. Be sure to get as much money out of this accident as possible. It is good that you have sustained some kind of minor injury. Demand monetary compensation for the temporary loss of visual information, something which I'm sure is priceless to you. After all, every moment of your action-packed life is precious and if you blink you'll miss something important, and a floater is like an extended (partial) blink. |
