GREETING YUO FUCKERS.
THE PDEE (http://www.lulu.com/content/5632746)
This is an all-rehashed version of the Principia, intended for distribution. To this end, I have re-worked graphics and whatnot to make it the smallest page size I was able to find at any print-on-demand publisher (4.25" x 6.75"). It is also pretty bare-bones, in an effort to make it cheaper - it's got RAW's intro, the original 75 pages, the Starbuck's pebbles myth, a few random other things, and the Fifth Edition. 94 pages total, plus an obnoxious orange cover. I tried te make it as cheap as possible (but alas, lulu wants their cut). I'm not making jack from these, by the way, like 30c American per. Virtually nothing. I'd like to thank Syn (or whatever Payne made his fucking name into this week :lulz: ) for his assistance, and anyone whose stuff I raped and didn't know the author.
Also, anyone who contributed to the Fnord Fonts, I am indebted to you, as I made extensive use of them.
I am planning to do another one, more along the lines of my original idea, but it will have about twice as many pages, and so will be less feasible for giving away. But still smaller page-wise.

Sweet!
IDEAL LIBRARY HIDING SIZE
HOLY SHIT I WANT TO SPEND MONEY
UPDATE on this nonsense: I have figured out how to set my revenue to nothing (this is my first time using Lulu for anything) and there is now *no* markup on these books. $6.38 each, same as I pay for 'em.
Oh yeah, Hi, I'm Reverend Smeg the Kilted.
$6.38 each??
:cramstipated:
:mittens:
A must buy!

QuoteNeeds to be Law-of-Five'd.
Pfft. Too easy.
6+3+8=17
(6/3=2)+8=10 (first multiple)
6/8=.75, 7+5+3=15, divided by the 3 (number of digits in the final sequence) = 5
6/.38=15.789473684210526315(repeat) Add those together = 80, divided by 15.789473684210526315 = 5.06666666666666666692 all numbers after decimal added = 119, divided by the 5 in front of the decimal = 23.8.
This is of course a sign that Lulu, and possibly me, are tools of the Illuminati/Chaney/HomelandSecurity(tm)/Starbucks/David Icke, and will hunt down anyone buying this book.
So make sure you give them away quickly!!!

Well POEE is mentioned on the back cover.
AND, I'm not really thinking this to be bought by people for themselves. Like my IRL Discordian friends (Rev Ned & Pope Stoner) are gonna put an order for about 30 of them.
Well I just ordered some. I'm not sure how much I like the words "EVANGELICAL EDITION" printed on the front, but props to you for making this so cheap nonetheless.
markup of 18 cents = for every 37 books sold you can give one away

Actually, the big fat one with extra stuff-when I finally finish it-will be marked up some, just for that purpose.
I wanna keep these non-prophet...the cheaper they are, the more they'll be used for what they're intended for.
It seems promising.
After I investigate the goods I will post my observations.
:mittens:
Any idea how much shipping one or five of these to the EU might cost? Their FAQs recommend giving them payment information before they give you shipping prices. :roll:
aaand purchased.
This is nice, I know a bunch of anarchists who need some churchin' up. Not to mention freaking out the norms.

I completely love the "EVANGELICAL EDITION" simply because it will fuck with people's heads.

Ditto.
I agree.
As long as the Principia Discordia is going to be presenting Discordianism as an actual religion (albeit a convoluted and obviously parody-based one), the cheapo mass-distribution version might as well be presented as "Evangelical".
I think I may actualy buy a few and see if I can get away with leaving them in hotel rooms.

We totally need a rich benefactor to start up the Discordian version of Gideons Bible (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gideons_Bible).
i dont know about that but after all the mean things ive said about the troops i should send em a few copies to repent

:D
Don't worry, I'm taking care of the troops.
I say mean shit about "The Troops" too, but usually in a more individual sense.
i.e: "Fuck Bill, he's a dick" as opposed to "Fuck the troops."

Exactly, my only question is where to look...Hmmm.
That was quite a bit of work to make it small and cheap, well done.
Just got mine the other day, and I've found a promising brainwashee, uh, recipient.
If you want some criticism about why certain things turned out a certain way let me know.
cool, i was hoping for a stripped rerelease.
heh lulu.com thinks i'm british.
I'm probably going to order two of these for giving away and such. I also like how they're orange (http://a.imageshack.us/img716/8725/orangegrin.png)
I did, however, checked the (free) PDF first, and it seems to have some bits of the text cut off near the edges of the page: page 00074 "Hail Eris", 00073 the right side of the Zwack cypher table, 00068 "Genesis 1:29" and on 00069 the handwritten bit about Momomoto's brother is not cut off in the PDF, but seems to be well into the bleed-margin (so might be cut off in print). There's more examples, but this was just a quick browse. Also a lot of page numbers are pretty much on the edge of the page and seem like they might be cut off when actually printed on paper.
Can anyone confirm how these things look on the actual print paper dead tree version?
Cause I don't mind if they're a bit messy, it's the PD after all, but I really hate it when things drop off the page, and especially if I'm thinking of ordering two copies ...
BUMP.
Did anyone order and receive this version?
I'm about to place my order today or tomorrow since I finally received a 20% off coupon from Lulu (they seem to send you one if you leave your order "marinade" long enough in the shopping cart)
But I really want to know about whether these print errors and stuff dropping off the pages occur and how bad they are.
yeah I've got a bunch of these
I didn't notice those problems, or they were so minor I've forgotten about them
I was going to order several, but for some reason Lulu kept giving me INSANE shipping. Like $17.
