- I've almost completed work on a bibliography of the Paris Olympia
- Press -- the outfit that first published "Lolita", "The Ginger Man",
- "Naked Lunch" &c. -- and I'm anticipating trouble in finding a
- publisher for such an arcane book. Advice as to likely publishers
- would be welcome.
-
- Alternatively, the notion of publishing it myself is becoming
- increasingly attractive. Producing camera-ready copy is no problem
- with Microsoft Word for Windows; however, printing it out in such a
- way that the pages print two to a sheet in landscape format with
- the page numbers correctly sequenced for gatherings of 4, 8 or 16
- leaves is very definitely a problem. I've had some modest success
- with Microsoft Publisher, but only with brief pamphlets. The
- Olympia Press project requires something with a bit more horse
- power. Has anyone had experience dealing with sort of thing?
