[freeroleplay] Lulu now printing in Europe

[Ricardo Gladwell]

Hi All,

Just received my copy of Gods & Monsters from Lulu.com and I have to say
I'm impressed. The book has a very professional feel and I would be hard
pressed to tell the difference between this and a print book you might
buy in you FLGS.

The only thing I would say is that the paper seems quite heavily
bleached and I wonder what Lulu.com's environmental policy is like, or
even if they have one.

Anyway, nit pick aside, congratulations on a very nice publication,
Jerry.

Kind regards...
