I am yet to purchase a pamphlet off of someone's site that's printed. I have purchased a half dozen downloaded patterns. IMO, sell your patterns individually and offer groups of patterns for a discount. That way folks can buy just one, or the whole group. I’d also suggest using downloadable PDFs.

I have seen a lot of patterns available these days like that. If I want it, I pay the $2-$10 paypal or charge card fee and download it immediately. Sure doesn't help if you are an impulse buyer. I don't have to wait for the mail or try to find it at a LYS, and I can store it on my computer. LYS's can buy this way too, I would assume that they get a discount. I know you might think about copying, but frankly the few people that might want to make copies to hand out are going to do it no matter what method you use. Hope this gives you a few ideas, (although you could always make pamplets too). Donna PS Thanks for the podcast. I know it's a lot of work. I love listening to fiber podcasts, makes me think I'm at a knit night or something, as I have no groups around my town. PDF downloadable files are one way to go.
