Turns out there's quite a bit to do even after the final, final manuscript has been submitted. My thanks to Parlor Press and David Blakesley for being 21st-Century-enough to release the book with a Creative Commons license.

That said, I'm relieved to know that impoverished students will not be forced to choose between my putative wisdom and next week's ramen noodles.
