Is there a company that allows me to make my own notebook the way Cafe Press lets me make my own T-shirt? I’m talking about the spiral bound or glue bound variety that require no updates or megahertz. The disconnected kind.
I don’t know who’s credited with saying that print is dead. Probably someone […]
