It is more a memento than a real book, I think. I only have one copy and I would not try to sell them if I had more. I don't know what Juri does with them actually. He's a very sweet guy and I think he gives copies out to people who enjoy short stories. And that is great with me. On the whole, when I have been paid for my work, I donate the fee back to the journal or magazine. The exception is when I have gotten larger fees from publishers or for the Larry Block anthologies.

Very cool. I hope you have copies and they sell well.
Congrats.
That is wonderful, Patti.

I think that it is very cool that he shares your stories with others and quite a compliment.
As I noted elsewhere, Juri does good work.
He sells them as well as gives them, but, oddly enough, the market is most concentrated in Finland...
