Scum Index

Last Update: 8/4/05

Instead of converting each article into a seperate web page, I will be converting each issue into a printer-ready Adobe Acrobat file. To print, first print the odd pages, flip the stack of paper over and feed them back into your printer, then print the even pages. Or, if your printer has a duplexer, just print double pages. I do not have any issues of Volume I, which was published by Corwin Darkwater. If anyone has any copies left, and wants to send me a copy, please let me know and I'll scan them and post them here.
