      Even though I still have a lot to write, it’s incredibly rewarding to see it becoming real in this way. (Footnotes! Illustrations!)pic.twitter.com/NFoXZEYG9r

          Printing one copy of a book is not so hard, and not really expensive, either. (I explored it last year here: https://medium.com/@mwichary/my-experiences-printing-a-small-batch-of-books-c04141b63dfe?source=linkShare-b55535a4ac78-1494626685 ….)
