Just a quick progress report regarding the publishing of Aether through Lulu.com:

On Friday (March 5, 2010), I received an automated email from Lulu.com (the selected Print-On-Demand printer for Aether) stating that the document PDF was failing to rip because of the size (1.96 gigs).

Lulu's press site says files must be below 2 gigs total. But after trying to produce the file, the email states it must be below 1.8 gigs. The email also states that I am not asked to do anything, as Lulu it sorting it out.

I have sent a follow-up email. I plan to follow-up again today.

Stay tuned! never a dull moment!
