Rick Bass Book progress

Me too!

Paul,

I have a domain and space to put the teaser if you want.

You may end up with a hundred e-mails of a teaser and not have time to do much beyond that.

Just a thought and it's no trouble if you can send it to me.

Thanks, guys. I've answered about 25 requests and received some good suggestions. Keep in mind you are seeing a reduced-file pdf of each page so they can be e-mailed easily. The actual pages include hi-res images so that they can be published and printed (if I go that route) or burned onto CD. It's way too early to speculate how I will publish the book. There's no way I'm going to "make money" at this, and I'm not worried about that. I could account for all my expenses and put it against income gained in the future, but I want to enjoy the project, not worry about it. No matter which way I go, the finished project will cost the readers some money, but they will be getting a high-quality product. And when? Ah . . . we'll just have to wait and see.

Thanks, Scott, but I'd rather keep it under my control at this point. I can handle "hundreds" of requests if it should come to that, but I'm not ready to have it accessible to the general public. I'm just looking for Forumite's feedback right now.

Makes sense to me.

You've got it absolutely right, Paul, kudos to you!

Looking forward to the publishing of the project!

Paul, why don't you publish what you have?

That is my intention. If I go with an electronic version and self publish, I'll be able to correct/update easily as information comes to light.

I could easily read a few hundred pages of this, great stuff, excellent pictures. Can't wait to see more! Thanks again

Huh. Nobody caught the typo yet. This is just like "where's Waldo?"

You mean, we have to re-read it all with a loupe, now? Was the typo intentional to see if we are paying attention? Was it Dorothy's idea?

I see where there may be a missing a and a missing the in the text. With these great photos it was hard to see any text at all.

I was a technical editor for a magazine on the west coast in a former life.

We copy edited each others work.

I'll find it when I get a chance to read it.

Had some things come up.
