Mark Baumer has never published a book. He is going to write and publish fifty books in one year. Each book will be a unique object. There will only be about 100-500 printed copies of each book. He is asking a website for $50,000 to cover the costs of printing, editing, and layout for all the books. All the money raised on this website will go towards printing books. If Mark Baumer doesn't raise enough money then he will just go out in the street and yell at the unpublished versions of his books until someone gives him a dollar

If you have $50,000 and you feel emotionally tired of your life and your problems then you should put $50,000 in a puddle.
