haven't finished reading it all yet, but one thing caught my eye.

The card says {lIjlaHbe'bogh}. The type is *VERY* tiny, and my eyesight is
bad. HIvqa' veqlargh.

Nope, there was no title on the card. I print what they give me.

Whoops, you've missed the point. The three conjoined nouns are the symbols
for TradeMark, Registration, and Copyright (respectively). These are
followed by {je}.

I bought the KLI's copies at a couple of conventions. Prices ranged from $5
to $15.
