the book thing

First off, the whelm in me is set to over just now. Thank you, everybody. I didn't realize so many people were as 'pins and needles' as I was about this publishing business. I appreciate the support more than you know. I got some well wishes from people I didn't expect to get them from. Thank you. That means a lot.

Now for the questions... I decided to answer everything in one post because a lot of the questions are the same.
