I've almost completed work on a bibliography of the Paris Olympia
Press -- the outfit that first published "Lolita", "The Ginger Man",
"Naked Lunch" &c. -- and I'm anticipating trouble in finding a 
publisher for such an arcane book. Advice as to likely publishers
would be welcome.

Alternatively, the notion of publishing it myself is becoming
increasingly attractive. Producing camera-ready copy is no problem
with Microsoft Word for Windows; however, printing it out in such a
way that the pages print two to a sheet in landscape format with
the page numbers correctly sequenced for gatherings of 4, 8 or 16
leaves is very definitely a problem. I've had some modest success
with Microsoft Publisher, but only with brief pamphlets. The
Olympia Press project requires something with a bit more horse 
power. Has anyone had experience dealing with sort of thing?
