Quite a fortunate domain name you have, Harry. ...emagic.com fits your ebooks perfectly.

Gordon, thanks for sharing your data point. I have to say that I really like what you guys did. Congratulations. My experience at Lybrary.com has been significantly different. Whenever we released a title in a printed edition together with an ebook edition we sold generally speaking roughly 80% eboo...

Richard, it is possible to retain the original design. We just did Modern Magic by Hoffman in a completely new PDF edition and you will probably not see any difference, because we have kept the layout and page design as close to the original as possible. It is a light weight and beautiful PDF. So if...

Harry, I am very happy to see that all your written output in magic is finally available in electronic form. I have tried to convince you of the benefits for many years without success.

A better suggestion for those who want to enter the 3D printing world cheaply is to look into the RepRap movement. It will cost a bit more than $50, but not much more and then you have a real 3D printer. Google RepRap for more info.

P.T., this is an excellent idea. You are lucky that your school has such a printer and I commend you for making use of it. I wish I had teachers like you. I have a Cube 3D printer for a couple of months now. I also worked with 3D printers at MIT several years ago when they still cost ~$100k. Now tha...
