Hello all,
Per Jeff's suggestion, this poll is to gauge the interest in an IAP Book based on the Library articles.
Basically, the book would be a binder style book probably about the same size as a day planner, maybe larger.
In the first edition, it would include all of the current articles and be published first for IAP consumption. The proceeds would go to the IAP. In subsequent editions, updates from the previous year would be included as well as being offered as stand alone printing to be added by existing book owners.
Additionally, the end game would be to have a reference book that could be sold outside of the IAP through such places as CUSA, Woodcraft, Rocklers, etc. and the proceeds go to the IAP.
There are a number of details that have to be worked out (permissions from current/future article authors, editing, pricing. etc).
The focus right now is simply to gauge interest from the IAP membership in something like this.
Here are a few other ideas that could be included in the book:
Bios for each author
Note taking sections associated with each article
Waterproof paper (makes it a more resilient shop book)
So feel free to post your thoughts and suggestions, but please keep in mind - this is a very preliminary idea and the goal is simply to get some idea of the interest.
Pricing, availability, publishing schedule, editing, etc. would be addressed if it looks like there is enough interest from the membership.
Take care and I look forward to seeing what everyone thinks.
