Is the uncertainty principle culturally deranging?

[Madeleine Maudlin]

I don't, yeah, I mean if that's the case.  I think of it as, printing out
your manuscript in the form of a book, replicating it numerous times, then
buying it for people and sending it to them, probably without them asking
for it first.

There's some fellow out of Chicago who got picked up by some big real house
with a giant contract because of his own book though, so maybe that's what
happens.  Publish it yourself, send it out, then get published?  I guess as
opposed to just emailing it to people.  You get to make your own cover.
 Which might be cool, I don't know, having a book you wrote in book format
with your own designs, inside and out.
