ABOUT 400$ everything included except printing books and mailing them. The many many new printed books and reviewed editions of old stuff from 2025 was 200$ for the first order and about 185$ for the second order. So about another 400$ for the many printed books I give away for free about Laurel i the last month. I think here may have been another order of 120$ or something like that. 500$ on books in last month for Laurel's memory and my mourning and love.
400$ is the same price as if we had gotten ashes back but much much more personal and real....the ashes we get back are never our own pets ashes anyway, its a mix and match of all the pets brunt with our pets bodies. We spent about 1K but mostly it is so much because of 500$ worth of books, 5 titles, 30 to 45 copies each.
