Abstract: The present invention comprises a method for distributing a serial work such as a novel, story, book, or other single-media or multi-media serial work over a communications network such as the internet in a manner that provides the entire work to users for free, while still providing an incentive for users to purchase the work. Instead of distributing a limited (e.g. abridged) free version and a more complete paid-for version as in the prior art, in the present invention, the content of the free and the paid-for versions are substantially the same. The thing that is different, however, is the time period over which the entire work is delivered. The present invention may be used with works that consist of serial data that can be divided into discrete portions. An example is a novel that is divided into chapters. In one embodiment of the invention, portions are provided for free to the users over a period of time.

Abstract: The present invention is an "anti-wrinkle" pillow that surpasses the limitations of prior art designs by keeping the delicate facial skin completely away from contact with the pillow and its covering when a person sleeps on his or her side. Instead of manipulating pressure or height, the present invention incorporates a tubular "extension piece" which is placed snugly under the jawbone, thereby providing better support and comfort than prior art pillows and leaving the facial skin completely untouched.
