CAT WORKS the BOOK: This is a great book! First produced as a self published effort through Blurb.com, aside from the price (Blurbs), I am quite pleased with the result. After the Blurb experience I used a printer in Georgia to print a good size print run. The book is 8 1/2" by 11" softcover, standard landscape with 80 full-color pages on a premium paper stock. You can buy it directly from me for $30 plus shipping costs of $4. Go through the preview below to see the complete content and get the full effect.

DO NOT buy it from BLURB. If you do it will cost you $47 and I see very little of that.
The link to buy it from me is right here.
