The Newsletter as a Book
Figure [1]: The Circular Book

Michael If you are among the regular newsletter readers, you have surely noticed that the newsletter is now also available as a book. The 462-page tome is titled "The First Decade," professionally bound in a rock-hard cover. As a bonus, the book even contains a little more than ten years of newsletters, from November 1996 to October 2007, to be precise. The great thing about the self-publishing platform lulu.com is that the book is only printed when someone orders it. And it is printed exactly where it was ordered. If someone orders a copy in the USA, it is printed and shipped there. If someone in Germany clicks the order button, the printing press starts up there, and the printed work is sent to a German address for just a few euros.

We earn nothing (null, nada, zilch, njet, nix) from the company; the entire amount goes to Lulu. The newsletter is a free publication and will remain so. And the gigantic PDF from which the book is made is offered by Lulu as a free download. By the way, Lulu is a great place. Amateur authors simply submit electronic files, which Lulu prints and ships as soon as someone orders them. The books are advertised like on Amazon and are reviewed by customers.

And I probably don't need to tell you that the Rundbriefbuch is the ideal Christmas gift for your loved ones. When they unwrap the book on Christmas Eve from the tasteful wrapping paper that you, of course, have provided, your loved ones will be wide-eyed and exclaim: "I'm overjoyed, the Rundbriefbuch! Everyone knows that it costs 68 euros. Honey, you really didn't have to go to such expense! Ah, I knew how much I mean to you... (cuddling sounds)." There you go. But make sure to order it by early November at the latest, as it takes some time to print after you press the order button, so that it arrives on the gift table on time. On the Rundbrief website, you will find links to The translation of"Rundbriefbuch auf Lulu Deutschland" to English is "Circular letterbook on Lulu Germany. The German phrase "und dem" translates to "and the" in English. Circular letter book on LuluUSA .
