Keeping this site posted on the web costs us $110/year in domain name and web hosting fees. We've also invested in OCR software for another $110, and scanning services at $650.  Not to mention the many hours of loving labour we've invested.  And there's so much more still to share here!  We are so delighted that Delete Press republished Oāb in a single volume in 2025. We would also love  to republish Beyond Labels, which is out of print.  If you've enjoyed reading Zend's work on this website, would you please consider helping us at least defray our costs?
