Why charge a penny for shipping? Why not just make it free?
We can't. The e-commerce vendor doesn't allow no charge in the shipping entry field. A penny is the next best thing.

How come your web site's so lame?
It's built for speed, my friend. Lazy Bachelors don't have time to wait for fancy imagemaps and flash movies to download. They have things to do, places to go, beers to drink. Until I see the research that says "fancy graphics equals more traffic," I'll keep it as lean and fast as I can.

What does "Marram" mean?
Marram is a kind of beach grass that grows in sand dunes, including the sand dunes near us on Lake Michigan. Marram grass will grow in bare sand, stabilizing the dune so that other soil accumulates, which allows other plants to grow. We liked the idea of a plant that could grow on its own, without much nourishment, so we named our company "Marram." Our logo shows a tuft of marram grass against the sun setting over Lake Michigan.

What's Marram Publishing? Are you like a division of Random House or something?
No, we're just a small publishing company. Very small In fact, we founded the company to publish The Lazy Bachelor's Cookbook (which you can conveniently buy right here on this web site).

Can women be Lazy Bachelors?
Oh, my, yes. Some of the laziest bachelors I've known are women. While I would estimate 90% - 95% of young, single men are Lazy Bachelors, the percentage of young, single women who are Lazy Bachelors is probably smaller, though it's hard to tell. I think because some women feel there is value in not being thought of as a lazy bachelor they are they may try to hide it. Just a guess, though.
