amazon.com/Full-Service-Mental-Institution-In...Hi self-publish, I'm hoping to tap into your collective brain power and experience.
The big question I have is whether it's better to use the CreateSpace free ISBN and have CreateSpace listed as the publisher, which allows the libraries/academic institutions aspect of expanded distribution, or if I should pay the $10, use my imprint, and have access to everything but libraries/academic institutions.
My gut feeling is that very few libraries, if any, order CreateSpace titles, or self-pubbed titles in general. Is that accurate? Totally wrong? Thanks!
Edit So it finally occurred to me to check some online library catalogues, and lo and behold, all the ones I looked into had CreateSpace t

Hi Redditors!

We may have October 19th in our hearts, but we can have our discussion of tonight's episode, "Darkest401" in our thread!
Community is premiering in all timelines tonight except the darkest one. If can't see it, then you know which one you're in.
Let's discuss! And for you twitterers, don't forget to tweet using #Darkest401.
The Great Paradox and the Innies and Outies of Time Management is FREE until 10/10.
It's offbeat, humorous sci-fi, and, to be perfectly honest, a little bit weird.
The Great Paradox and the Innies and Outies of Time Management [Science Fiction]
amazon.com/Paradox-Innies-Outies-Management-e...Aunty Ida's Full-Service Mental Institution (by Invitation Only) is free through midnight (somewhere) October 4 (so that would be midnight tomorrow. I think).
It's an offbeat, humorous light sci-fi read that could be described as kinda weird. Though Aunty Ida discourages the use of the word "weird."
Not for psychological reasons. She just doesn't like the word.
As Aunty Ida would say: Give your mind a good braining, read a book!

chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-ch...My TiVo was not going to record today's new episode. I have it set to record new episodes only, and there may be something with the way it's listed that makes it think there isn't a new episode, so check your TiVos!
I had no conflicts, it just wasn't going to record. I set this week and next week (as far as the programming information allows) manually.
So just a warning, make sure you're recording (hmm, that nearly rhymes).
