WOW I don't know a thing about Scribus (well, maybe open it) I surely will read it.

Thank you

any good therefore that I can do,
or any kindness that I can show
let me not defer nor neglect it,
for I shall not pass this way again.

Thanks for this great addition of this great edition.  As Meemaw always says...never stop learning.

When I first started helping with the magazine I asked my library to order the Scribus Book.  More than I really wanted to know.  :P  I don't think anybody but me ever checks it out.  ;D

With Meemaw's edition you will have everything you need to learn and create.  And even if you don't intend to start a new career, you can learn something new with just a few lessons.

Thanks Meemaw and parnote.  :D

I bet I might as well print them, then I will get a chance to read and check in Scribus at same time as I read. Thanks for all, to you, to Meemaw and all who make the PCLOS Mag and the special editions. Merry Christmas !
