Not sure if my other message got through, since google seems to have
glitched...to this question, I'll see what I can do.
Meanwhile, a question...should volume 3, which has the first half of
season two, with the intro to Sheridan's character, come out around
December 15th for gift-giving, or should it be held until late January?

I'll see what I can do about this one.
BTW, I'm trying to decide whether to put volume 3 out -- the first half
of season two, with the intro to Sheridan, and a bunch of other stuff
-- out on around December 15th, or wait until late January, given the
holidays. But I know some folks might want that out in time for
gift-giving. Y'all have any preferences?

Yeah, but it's all part of a huge mega-event about which everyone
involved is sworn to secrecy, so I can't say anything without being
hunted down and shot.

We talked about a parchment or poster sort of thing for the
Declaration, but what I finally came back to was that the site should
only really offer things that folks can't do just as well on their own.
Anybody with a good color printer could put together a very spiffy
poster, but fewer still can do other objects that don't fit as well
into the printer. I'm not sure the Press offers plaques, but I'll look
into it.

I think there's room to talk about some of the other episodes in the
general introduction to a given book, in terms of anecdotes and the
like, but to do a full-scale commentary on one of them seems wrong to
me in that a) it would go to lengths about something not available in
the book, and b) given that it's someone else's script, it feels
vaguely presumptuous of me. Good question, though.

The logo, and the specific images from B5, are owned by WB and cannot
be used. I can use the name of the station, and the show, in a casual
kind of way, because they are from that show, but images and logos are
a no-no legally.

BTW, a couple of small updates.
Appparently some of our Canadian brethren (and sisthern? sistern?) to
the North have been hit with GST because Cafe Press isn't correctly
labeling their boxes. So if folks up there want to hold off on their
orders on stuff for a bit (it might take a couple of weeks to
straighten this out), there's a way to carry over the discount for
y'all.
Also...we're tweaking some of the quote stuff to make it look spiffier,
