While the "Doubles and Dogs" offer to consider the non-compensated publication of your manuscript might seem an insult and rip-off to the published authors among us, it may just be someone else's idea of a way to realize a dream. Personally, I like to charge someone a lot of money when I write something, but I don't think the D@D folks would be interested in publishing one of my legal briefs either.

Giv'em a break, somebody might get to see his or her name in print for the first time. Consider the pages and pages of drivel they're gonna haf'ta wade through to come up with a 3 or 4 hundred page book anybody would buy...Geo
