SKJB / Dream Cafe' swag ideas

This sounds like a "yes" to me.  Anybody else hear a "yes" there?   8 )

The idea is to provide a small printed link that people could see and
use as a reference to find the books online, thus generating the
possibility for more sales and word-of-mouth.  If www.dreamcafe.com is
Steve's and the link attributes back to Greg Brown for the genesis of
the idea, that should be kosher enough, right?

David, how does Cafe Press work in practice?  I see the blurb on their
site, http://www.cafepress.com/cp/info/about/:
"Launched in 1999, CafePress.com has empowered individuals,
organizations and businesses to create, buy and sell customized

streams.

70 customizable products ranging from apparel, home and office
accessories to music and data CDs and books to prints, posters and
cards.

stores, we manage every aspect of doing business online, including

"No upfront costs and no inventory to manage" sounds pretty good to me.
