<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-267" title="Outside the Los Angeles Times" src="http://ulken.com/w/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/latline1.jpg" alt="" width="420" height="250" /></p>

<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-270" style="float: left; margin-right: 8px;" title="Los Angeles Times front page, Nov. 5, 2008" src="http://ulken.com/w/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/latfront.jpg" alt="" width="218" height="422" />For the second day since the election, the line of people seeking copies of Tuesday&#8217;s paper outside the Los Angeles Times building is around the corner. (Copies of the paper are also listed <a title="Ebay: Los Angeles Times" href="http://shop.ebay.com/items/_W0QQ_nkwZlosQ20angelesQ20timesQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZR40QQ_mdoZ">at a substantial premium on Ebay</a>.)</p>
<p>Jack Klunder, the paper&#8217;s president, told me the Times printed a &#8220;couple hundred thousand&#8221; more papers to satisfy the demand. It&#8217;s also selling plates of the paper&#8217;s front page for $10 a piece and lithographs for $5. The Times&#8217; Reader&#8217;s Rep blog <a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/readers/2008/11/extra-extra.html">has details</a>.</p>
<p>(<b>Update 11/9:</b> Sandy Banks has a <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-banks8-2008nov08,0,820830.column">nice column</a>, with an accompanying Sachi Cunningham video, on the phenomenon. When I walked by the Times yesterday the line was still out the door and some enterprising independent vendors had set up shop across the street selling Obama T-shirts and other merchandise.)</p>
<p>Finally, for those who prefer the digital version, here&#8217;s a photo I took in the newsroom Tuesday night:</p>
