I’m sure they do offer all kinds of services, but unless they are actually offering a binding service (which I haven’t heard about), I bet all it means is that they charge you to do the stapling and cutting that you could do yourself.

I personally spend a lot of time at Kinko’s, but I never go for their value-add stuff (hmm, this sounds exactly like what I was saying about 1stBooks, below). I guess I think a writer can always produce his or her own book with more love and personal attention than any service will do.

Having seen (and liked) your last chapbook, my only recommendation for your next one would be to use a heavier paper, at least for the cover. And maybe ask Doreen to design you a really slick looking layout.
