Questions

I've gotten a few questions I forgot to address about the book and figured I'd post them here so everyone can read the answers:

1. I thought in the beginning that the sales from this book were going to charity. Is this still the case?

That was originally what we were aiming to do, but then discovered that according to what charity you pick, the project (be it a book, fundraising event, newspaper, etc) had to be approved by said charity each step of the way. So for this first project we've decided not to be associated with any particular charity. That being decided, we've chosen to keep the cost of the book as low as possible, so neither Grace nor I are making a profit off the book. (I think I've actually *lost* money, lol I've had to order multiple proof copies!)

2. Might it be possible to purchase the book at cost if I wanted to bring copies to sell at events (and is that permitted)? Or is the existing price already at cost?

The book price is set at cost right now. What that means is the $22.10 you're paying is what it costs Lulu to create and print the book. No profit is being generated from it. Unfortunately since I can't give out free copies to each contributing artist, we wanted to keep the book as affordable as possible.

Yes! If you'd like to purchase multiple copies of MP to sell at events please do so! This will increase everyone's visibility as an artist and would just be awesome in general.  :)  And if you take photos of the event, please let me know and I'll post them on the blog for everyone to see.
