What’s up with this short king? (Pun intended)

Bought on eBay cause I like the original font but what version did I buy?? No printing info on copyright page and it’s shorter than the newer hardcovers

Recommendations on printable book cloth (US)?

I’ve tried a few options and can’t seem to find any that are both thin enough and retain dye based ink. This is one from Amazon that is a great texture but turned out super washed out. There’s another popular “printable canvas” but it’s way too thick.

I ended up ordering some from Schmedt but with shipping it was nearly $95 since I’m in the US. The Schmedt stuff will obviously work the best cause it’s premium quality specifically made for printing book covers but does anyone know of any alternatives based in the US so I don’t have to pay 3x what the order costs for shipping in the future?

Are the first two Michael Whelan covers available in hardcover?

Just found a 1st Ed copy of assassins quest in hardcover. But can’t seem to find any matching hardcovers for the first two books. Where they ever printed? Even eBay’s “sold” section doesn’t seem to have any.

Would love to have a matching set rather than two shorties and a long boy on the shelf.

How bad is this 80 year old stamped tin roof?

We bought this house 5ish years ago. The previous owners told us the roof needs to be decorated every 5 years or so. We’ve always had a few small leaks but over the years the leaks have gotten larger and more frequent. we’re not that far off from 5 years so I figured we just have another coat of sealant or whatever it is applied and call it a day. I climbed up today to blow off some leaves and it looks much worse up close. Is this salvageable? Or should we look into a replacement?

(Looks just as bad on the front where there is another gable dormer)

How do I avoid this?

Using printable canvas and it seems way too thick when folding back. It causes this weird budge on the hinge.

Why are there never any robin hobb books at used bookstores?

I’ve found a couple at thrift stores over the years but half priced books and book nook (local used book store to me) never have any. I have literally never seen any at all. Are they rare?

Should cover text be centered from the spine or the edge of the hinge?

Basically the title. My instinct is to center the front cover title text from the inside edge of the hinge to the edge of the cover, but I checked a few books and they seem to center from the corner of the spine(or outside part of the hinge) and the edge of the cover. Is there a right or wrong way?

Hopefully that makes sense.

Hospital sent bill for services not rendered to collections. What do I do?

Location: GA, US.

Last January my wife had to go to the ER because she thought she had had a miscarriage (she didn’t!). While there at least 2 nurses/drs tried to give her a vaginal ultrasound. She declined it several times. She received a normal abdominal ultrasound the bill for which has been long since paid.

We received a bill several weeks later for $800 vaginal ultrasound. I called and told them that she did not receive that. They said “ok we’ll look into it and fix it”. Well they obviously didn’t fix it and no matter how many times I explained it to them the bills kept coming until they sent it to a collections agency.

I explained to the collections agency that it was a bill for services not rendered which I told them is illegal. They said I would have to have the hospital cancel the bill. So I called the hospital and they said it was up to the collections agency. This went on for months back and forth, all the while it is ruining my wife’s credit. The radiology department does not have a physical billing department so there is no office I can go to and talk to a person. It is all done via remote call center.

Do I have any legal options here? How can I at the very least get them to cancel the account and remove it from her credit?

I do have an audio recording of the radiology billing department rep saying they would fix the issue and that it would be removed from her credit. (In GA so single party convent recording laws)

ALSO is there any possibility of a settlement to help offset other medical bills we racked up last year lol? (Kidney infection, baby, rabies bite-yes really). our insurance is very bad and we are very poor lol.

Thunderbolt 4 dock with media slots for windows 11?

[US, Under $400 please] Looking for a thunderbolt 4 dock that preferably has SD4.0 and cf express slots. I don’t need any hdmi or DisplayPort outputs. This is just somewhere I can connect media to transfer footage without having a bunch of dongles all over my desk.

I currently have an own thunderbolt 3 dock but on Windows, thunderbolt 3 doesn’t wake from sleep properly. And it constantly disconnects and I have to do a whole ritual and sacrifice my first born child for it to connect again. Needless to say- I’m running out of first born children.

Apparently thunderbolt 4 fixed this issue. Own has their “pro” dock that has everything I want but it’s only Thunderbolt 3 still.

Any recommendations that has all this?

How do I make this flush?

We bought a faux fireplace/mantle for our living room. It matched the style of the house very well but because of the trim on the wall, it doesn’t sit flush.

Obviously the easiest way would be to cut the trim, but it’s a historic house so I’d like to avoid that if possible. I traced out the trim shape on the faux mantle, how would I cut that out so it doesn’t look terrible? (The wood is only 1” thick- real wood not ply or particle board)

Or should I build a box to lift the mantle up a few inches and try to match the wall’s trim around the front of the mantle?

Is this fixable or do I need a new printhead?

Was trying to clean the printhead and I broke off this piece. Can I replace this part or is it connected to the main piece of the print head? (Epson 1430)

Do I need a new printer head? [epson artisan 1430]

Disclaimer I don’t know anything about printers. Bought an epson 1430 on fb marketplace for $150. The owner claimed it worked great.

The first test print has smears everywhere so I followed along on a printhead cleaning video with syringe and alcohol solution. I ran another few tests which are definitely an improvement but as you can see there are some weird color fades and a couple missing or misaligned lines.

The first pic is the alignment tool. It’s definitely not supposed to look like that right? It is still clogged somehow or is it probably damaged and I need to replace the whole printhead?

I have a design I made for a book cover I want to print. I made the project A2 paper sized. I realized I can fit the design on 13x19 paper which is cheaper and more accessible. How do I chance my project to 13x19 without changing the size of my layers?

I designed this printable cover for the 2024 handbook. It’s designed to be printable on A2 paper if you want to do a rebinding of your handbook yourself :). It’s meant to be mostly similar to the 1983 Redbox cover. Obviously a few differences. The old version just had a character sheet on the back so I took the text from the 2024 handbook and added that piece of art from the 83 manual(which I believe was also done by Elmore. Correct me if I’m wrong).

I haven’t had a chance to print myself but I will update once I make a version for myself.

I’m also working on some covers inspired by the 1e ad&d covers for the handbook, dm handbook, and monster manual if anyone is interested in those, i will post in the coming days.
