If you've ever used the THiNC printing press, or read a THiNC book, and thought about what your book would look like in real life, now is your chance! Blurb, an online company that prints your book designs for you, is having a 20% off sale on 8x10 hardcover books. The code to enter is travel20-P9C24.Once on the site, you are able to download software that is really easy to use.
